Leiden University Presents BIAS Project at Japanese Society on Artificial Intelligence Symposium 2024

Entitled ‘The Ambitions and Limitations of AI-driven Recruitment and Selection: Unfolding Fairness and Diversity Bias’, the workshop provided a cutting-edge platform for academics and experts to discuss the ambitions and limitations of AI applications within the labour market, and specifically in recruitment and selection processes.

In February 2024, five papers were selected for presentation at the workshop. On the first day, these presentations included a comparative analysis of existing legal frameworks, real-life implications for the social and ethical dimensions of hiring practices and practical experiences of auditing new technologies. On the second day, the workshop aimed to explore how AI applications for HR practices can be made trustworthy and can engage presenters and the audience in an open debate. Discussions began with the Assessment List for Trustworthy AI (ALTAI), during which participants shared thoughts and ideas from other jurisdictions and sectors.
