A viral campaign has highlighted the role of AI in creating and accelerating new forms of age discrimination in recruitment. The question for employers is whether AI recruitment tools are creating, and accelerating, a new, invisible form of age discrimination and if so, what are the legal risks, and what does this mean for HR and recruitment teams? Employers remain legally responsible for recruitment decisions even where AI systems are supplied and operated by third-party vendors. Finally, organisations should keep a clear record of how recruitment decisions, automated or otherwise, are reached. AI tools may seem like the answer; however, they come with built-in biases.
