AI is programmed by the HR staff

Yes, those famous elite code wizards, the guys and gals in HR.

While they are not doing the coding, they are often providing the training data. This is what screws the process over. Garbage in, garbage out.

If firms are the ones using AI, then it isn’t even HR wizards. It’s the geniuses that can manage to pick out the right candidate for a job even though they know nothing about the position, company, location, candidates, or work load.

They are already throwing out your best candidates because they don’t know what they are doing, but their firm costs less than a couple HR people so the share holders still think it’s a good idea.
