AI Recruiting: Removing Bias from Hiring Algorithms

Hiring can time-consuming, costly and highly consequential for both employees and companies. Therefore, to make this process better, employers have begun leveraging algorithmic techniques, in order to hire quality candidates. But the question that often comes up is if hiring algorithms prevent bias or amplify it? Algorithmic screening tools, on the surface seem like an appealing replacement for biased human evaluations. However, there experts have started realizing that these tools reproduce and sometimes magnify human biases found in the datasets based on which these tools are designed. Algorithms do not question the human decisions underlying a dataset – they attempt to replicate past decisions, and this can lead them to replicate all the human biases they were intended to remove in the first place.

IMSI Encryption – How Subscribers Can Enhance Privacy in 5G

5 G SIM c apabilities prove clear benefits to protect the prominent user data involved in the mobile communications, claims the recent study from Trusted Connectivity Alliance. Protecting the  consumer data and privacy  is a critical consideration amid the modern connected world. The dawn of the  5G network  initiates an opportunity for the mobile network operators (MNOs) to take up some major privacy concerns and risks. Besides, it helps to secure the significant personal data that are involved in communications, precisely the International Mobile Subscriber (IMSI). The IMSI is the unique identifier assigned to a SIM card by the MNO – this is also called as the Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI) in 5G. Even with presenting the personal information, the IMSI is visible to critical security vulnerabilities. This certainly, because it is shared unencrypted over-the-air in different technologies, including 2G, 3G, and 4G. For more information tap the link:  IMSI Encryption – How Sub

Five IT Metrics that CIOs Should Focus On

Image
With the surge in the number of IT metrics, it is critical that CIOs identify the ones that provide them the best insights on essential enterprise functions. Metrics are the essential tools that can help CIOs to focus their teams and resources on important core business areas such as transformation and operations.  Even though highly useful, metrics, when misused, can be dangerous. Often, organizations rely on the wrong metrics to track specific processes, leading to inaccurate or misleading results. Additionally, incorporating new metrics that have yet to demonstrate their long-term value can backfire. Therefore, CIOs should assemble an analysis package that their counterparts can use to learn about IT’s impact on transformations and operations.  They should take steps to avoid clutter as well as confusion and focus on a core set of fundamental metrics that provide clear insight into the critical issues and opportunities. Here are five fundamental metrics that CIOs should incorporate

Ban on AI: is it Needed?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer an option or even a what-if situation that humans can ponder upon.  Today AI has reached an extent where tech industry veterans, regulatory bodies, and governments are suggesting banning AI, “citing it as a risk to society.” There is tremendous resistance amongst tech users for Large language models (LLMs) such as Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT)-3 & 4, LaMDA, BLOOM, and LLaMA. According to a report by  Reuters , Elon Musk and an artificial intelligence industry veteran community have signed an open letter requesting a six-month moratorium on advanced AI system development. The news of AI industry veterans signing the open came after the launch of ChatGPT-4. There is a tremendous debate between governments, policymakers, and other tech experts about the negative, moral, and ethical implications of AI and its applications. Another report from Reuters highlights that Italy has decided to ban ChatGPT.  This move of the Italian governm
