A prominent group of researchers
alarmed by the harmful social effects of artificial intelligence
called Thursday for a ban on automated analysis of facial expressions in hiring
and other major decisions. The AI Now Institute at New
York University said action against such software-driven "effect
recognition" was its top priority because science doesn't justify the technology's use and
there is still time to stop widespread adoption.
The group of professors and other researchers cited as a
problematic example the company HireVue, which sells systems for remote video
interviews for employers such as Hilton and Unilever. It offers AI to analyze facial
movements, tone of voice
and speech patterns, and doesn't disclose scores to the job candidates.
