OpenAI's ChatGPT Exhibits Racial Bias in Job Hiring, Investigation Finds

A Bloomberg investigation reveals that OpenAI's ChatGPT shows racial bias in job hiring, favoring Asian women over Black men in resume screening.

OpenAI's ChatGPT was found to over-select Asian women and under-select Black men when screening resumes for jobs.
The investigation involved creating fictitious resumes and asking ChatGPT to rank them for various job listings, revealing a clear bias.
Despite hopes that AI could reduce bias in hiring, the investigation highlights the challenges AI faces in eliminating discrimination.
Experts suggest that while AI can be a tool in hiring, human oversight and adjustments are necessary to mitigate bias.
The findings raise concerns about the reliance on generative AI in hiring processes and the need for diversity in AI development.
