UF Scientist to Research Fairness in AI Hiring Practices

Mo Wang is one of the recipients of a Fairness in Artificial Intelligence grant, receiving nearly $1 million from the NSF and Amazon. This project could impact the work of policy makers, informing them of key factors regarding the fairness of AI.

“Automated personnel-selection systems have been widely implemented in our society for hiring employees,” Wang said. “However, the automated process is not immune to bias and unfairness. It is time for us to take a careful look at the structural bias that exists in such automations and figure out ways to eliminate its impact.”
