How to Hold AI Accountable

As a contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian, Hilke Schellmann writes about holding artificial intelligence (AI) accountable. In her book, "The Algorithm: How AI Decides Who Gets Hired, Monitored, Promoted, and Fired, And Why We Need To Fight Back" (Hachette), she investigates the rise of AI in the world of work. Drawing on exclusive information from whistleblowers, internal documents and real world tests, Schellmann discovers that many of the algorithms making high stakes decisions are biased, racist, and do more harm than good. In the talk she will also share what jobseekers can do to "beat the machines." Hilke Schellmann is an Emmy award winning investigative reporter, assistant professor of journalism at New York University and a Pulitzer Center Grantee / 2022 AI Accountability Fellow.
