In 2018, Amazon made headlines because their top-secret AI recruiting tool showed a bias against women in technical roles. Now, it seems like the tech giant is harbouring dreams of bringing this bot back, at the cost of laying off hundreds of its recruiters.
A leaked internal document shows that Amazon had been working on an upgrade to their hiring algorithm in secret. The AI agent, dubbed Automated Applicant Evaluation (AAE), will be able to predict which job applicants will be successful in their assigned roles. The document shows that the tech giant has been working on this technology at least for a year under the Artificial Intelligence Recruitment team in the HR division.
This comes after the company announced that it would be shuttering its online education platform
