Garbage headline. This isn't "AI" doing this, it's hiring managers and companies. It's policy. If I put all my applicants into a Microsoft excel spreadsheet and use the sorting function to sort by race, then only hire ones of of a particular skin tone, is Excel keeping millions of qualified candidates out of the workforce? No, of course not. Neither is AI. Replace "AI" with "company policy" in every one of these articles and you get at what's actually occurring.
Same reason we don't need to "regulate AI". We need to regulate it's deployment, just like we regulate whatever technology we used for it previously. In other words, we don't need new rules, we just need enforcement of existing ones. You can't have a hiring process that discriminatory. What tool you use to arrive at that end doesn't matter.
AI is the new scapegoat over immigrants on who to blame for jobs being lost (even though it's always the capitalist owner that drive these decisions)
Oh, you mean those immigrants who won’t work but steal our jobs?
