Abstract:

Algorithmic discrimination is the term used to describe any form of unequal treatment or consequences that individuals or groups face due to algorithms. Artificial intelligence techniques have enabled discriminatory actions based on current grounds of prejudice to occur in a more systematic, cost-effective, and incomprehensible manner. Algorithmic discrimination is commonly observed in recruitment processes. Occasionally, the employer's deliberate choices may determine this, while in other instances, it may transpire unbeknownst to both the employer and the creator of the artificial intelligence technology. While it is currently impractical to oppose technological advancements, it is imperative to guarantee their utilization in accordance with human rights. Given the impact of artificial intelligence on current employment, safeguarding the fundamental rights of individuals during the job application process is becoming increasingly crucial. In the absence of appropriate measures, individuals may face systematic discrimination and there is a potential for eugenic selection of worker candidates. The rapid and convenient availability of individuals' private personal information, which heightens the potential for discriminatory practices in the all-seeing digital world, necessitates immediate action.
