WorklifeIndia

Companies are starting to embrace artificial intelligence in hiring. One global study found one in three recruiters already doing so.

In most companies though, in-person interviews still remain the most preferred way of finding new talent.

In this edition of WorklifeIndia, a founder and two recruiters tell us about their own interview experiences. We ask them whether artificial intelligence is the future of recruitment, and if you can really find the best person for a job without meeting them.

Fake news has been linked to dozens of mob killings in India. It’s also been blamed for swaying elections and damaging reputations all over the world. In this edition of WorklifeIndia we find out if it can be stopped and whose job it is to try.

We ask our panel of guests whether the solution lies with tougher government regulations, myth-busting technology, or the social media firms themselves.

Or is down to all of us - the consumers – to ignore our impulses and think twice before sharing content?
