Could AI hiring create more barriers for people with disabilities instead of levelling the playing field? In this episode, Susan Scott-Parker, founder of business disability international, says standardised and inflexible AI hiring systems risk shutting many people with disabilities out of the workforce. She makes the case for more inclusive HR technologies that are designed for the full range of human experience. 

Tune in to learn more about:

  • The unsettling truth about how AI hiring tools are screening out candidates with disabilities - and how to make them fairer
  • How HR leaders can challenge biases in AI hiring tools and demand more from the technology they invest in
  • Why Susan coined the term “disability confidence” and why it’s not just about “being nice” to disabled people
