AI-infused hiring programs have drawn scrutiny, most notably over whether they end up exhibiting biases based on the data they’re trained on.

The so-called AI parses your resume looking for keywords that match the job description. They anonymize and provide a summary. I don't think there is much room for bias. Maybe if you use crappie software that doesn't make the summary anonymous.

BTW write your resume for the algorithm not the manager.

It depends how “bias” has been defined. The Ibram Kendi definition is unequal outcomes. Since no two groups are identical, such definitions require bias to be “unbiased.” Australia tried to employ blind recruitment and hired fewer women and minorities. That’s true unbiased recruitment, but I suspect it wouldn’t be praised today.
