How AI is changing who gets hired – and who doesn’t

From vetting resumes to screening candidates, many employers are using AI tools to identify top talent. But what happens when companies start relying on AI to help them decide who to hire or promote… and who to fire? In this episode of The TED AI Show, another podcast in the TED Audio Collective, host Bilawal Sidhu speaks with journalist Hilke Schellmann, whose research on the rapidly growing use of AI in the workplace highlights where algorithms are helping – and hurting – business. Hilke shares the surprising (and not surprising) ways AI works in the hiring process, and argues that transparency, regulation, and oversight are essential if AI is going to actually benefit employees and employers.

How to Fail Better (from Fail Better with David Duchovny)

To be human is to fail — period. And not just to fail once, but to fail a lot. As the author Samuel Beckett said: “Fail again. Fail better.” Why are we, and so many others, so deeply concerned by failure? And if it’s something we all do so often, why are we so afraid of it — especially those of us here in win-at-all-costs America? This is an episode of Fail Better with David Duchovny, from Lemonada Media. Join host David Duchovny as he sits down with actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani as they share Kumail’s recently found new ways of approaching his life, relationship and career with more presence and joy, rather than stressing about the outcome.
