Brief

New research reported by MIT Technology Review says large language models not only absorb human biases from training data but can also develop their own biases when used for hiring. The findings raise questions about whether AI resume screening will judge applicants fairly.

Why It Matters

If AI systems form independent biases, automated hiring could unfairly disadvantage candidates even without biased training data.
