Microsoft, Amazon, and other companies are shaping AI-enabled hiring policies to address the challenges and risks associated with using artificial intelligence in the recruitment process. While AI has the potential to streamline sourcing, assessments, and candidate communication, experts emphasize the need for caution to ensure transparency, fairness, and non-discrimination. The Center for Industry Self-Regulation (CISR) has published principles and protocols for trustworthy AI in hiring, in collaboration with companies like Amazon, Unilever, Koch Industries, and Microsoft. These guidelines aim to promote accountability, technical robustness, and governance in AI-based hiring practices. However, experts warn that bias and discrimination persist in hiring, and employers must take responsibility for ensuring non-discrimination, even when using AI vendors. Regular vendor analysis, human oversight, and clear communication with candidates are recommended to mitigate risks and maximize the potential of AI in hiring.
Tech giants including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta have made voluntary commitments to prioritize safety, security, and trust in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The companies have agreed to subject their AI systems to external testing, assess potential risks, and make the results public. They will also safeguard their AI products against cyber threats, share best practices, and prevent misuse. Additionally, the companies will ensure transparency in AI-generated content, protect against discrimination and bias, and use AI to address challenges like climate change and cancer. The White House agreement aims to mitigate the risks associated with AI and create a foundation for responsible AI development.
The leaders of the G-7 summit have called for international standards for the use of artificial intelligence (AI), acknowledging that rules governing their use and compliance have not kept pace with the rapid growth of AI and immersive technologies. They emphasized that new technologies should be governed in line with democratic values, including fairness, accountability, transparency, protection from online abuse, and respect for privacy and human rights. The leaders also called for technical standards to develop "trustworthy" AI and established the "Hiroshima AI process" to discuss generative AI and report back by the end of 2023.
Mozilla has launched a new AI-focused startup called Mozilla.ai, with a mission to build open source and trustworthy AI. The company is funded by a $30 million seed investment from the Mozilla Foundation and will initially focus on building a team of around 25 engineers, scientists, and product managers to work on "trustworthy" recommendation systems and large language models. Mozilla.ai's broader ambition is to establish a network of allied companies and research groups that share its vision. The company aims to create a 'trust first' open source AI stack and convince the industry to adopt its vision of trustworthy AI.
