AI for Good
Artificial intelligence has been publicized for decades - why should we believe the hype today? How can we know if AI negatively or positively affects enterprises, employees, and candidates? Jolen Anderson, Global Head of Human Resources at BNY Mellon, says that “sometimes organizations decide not to leverage AI rather than investigate and determine if AI can be used for a purpose that drives positive outcomes” This paper talks about what those “positive outcomes” are: why now is the right time for AI in the talent field.
Key Takeaways
- ✓ As with most good buzzwords, “AI” suffers from being misused.
- ✓ The more advanced the AI, the more that it can do.
- ✓ Just as data about potential customers helps companies make advertising decisions, and information about the economy helps banks make investment decisions, so in the talent space, information about people helps enterprises make decisions about who to attract, hire, upskill, retain, rehire, and so on.

Bias and Diversity: An Eightfold Case Study
All people are biased—but they usually have good intentions. For example, a manager may wish to recruit from her university. This well-intended choice would perpetuate any bias the university has in admissions, and also would bias against people with different educational backgrounds. Other biases may be totally unconscious— for example, a manager may prefer male candidates without realizing they have this preference.
