A recent piece in the Wall Street Journal highlights the efforts of Frida Polli (MBA 2012), a neuroscientist and CEO of Pymetrics, an AI-powered recruiting and job matching platform, to employ systems that better combat hiring biases.
The article notes that while AI’s ability to replicate and exacerbate human biases has led to some high-profile missteps and attention from regulators, firms like Pymetrics have worked to design systems that not only don’t discriminate, but also surface candidates that have been overlooked by time-pressed, overburdened recruiters.
“I love humans,” Polli, told The Journal. ”I don’t think we should be, you know, disintermediating humans anytime soon. [But] there’s no research that supports the idea that humans are unbiased.”
Polli previously shared the story of Pymetrics' founding with the HBS Alumni Bulletin as well as an episode of the HBS alumni podcast, Skydeck.
