Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already transforming the talent landscape, with the potential to bring agility, speed and accessibility to each stage of the talent lifecycle.

From the management of talent pools to screening, interview scheduling to assessment, data interrogation and beyond, the potential use cases for AI in talent are huge. The Board’s mission will be to ensure that the fair, transparent and unbiased use of AI technologies in talent will remain paramount and that in the midst of rapid development and change in the AI space, tools respect the rights and deliver benefits to all individuals, including candidates, hirers, recruiters, TA & HR professionals and other users of the technology.

Commenting on the news, Jo-Ann Feely, Global Head of Innovation at AMS said: “When ChatGPT launched, capturing the attention of those outside the industry and bringing AI-powered technologies and their vast potential into mainstream consciousness, it became clear very quickly that the implications for talent acquisition and management were going to be significant. From human biases reflected in the data that powers AI to concerns around privacy, transparency and security, it is crucial for talent leaders to make sure AI is helping and not hurting their most important asset: their people.
“Our Ethical AI in Talent Board will play a key role in preventing the risks associated with using AI in the talent space both for us and our customers and will contribute greatly to our wider understanding of this technology which comes with such huge potential but also great responsibility.”
