I read the article but I didn’t check out the platform yet. Thought it might be useful for my fellow autistic people.

AI has bias issues. While humans can be aware of them and course-correct, with the AI, not so much, and that’s just comes before all the biased data it was trained on.
Ok, I understand. As someone who worked with AI and in hiring in the past I feel like (specifically ND focused) AI can’t do a worse job than traditional recruiting (which is also increasingly done with AI). But I might be wrong. On the other hand so could be you. Have a good one. :)
It absolutely can do a worse job, and be more biased. Not to mention Sam Altman is backing it? Yeesh. I’m good.
Can you somehow prove that? I don’t see how „absolutely“ reinforces your claim. If conventional hiring wasn’t a bag of dicks, hiring companies (which are shit as well) wouldn’t make billions in revenue.
But I don’t recognize altman. The name sounds familiar. I might need to check him out.
AI can absolutely screw up these things as bad or worse than any other program.
AI sucks at nuances it isn’t explicitly trained on. That’s how you get AIs at eating disorder charities recommending things like 500 calorie daily deficits (this actually happened).
AI might be able to get a technically accurate translation, but can’t always tell what’s culturally offensive or colloquially given a new meaning.
For example, in Spanish “Soy” means “I”, and “Caliente” means “Hot”. What do you think “Soy caliente” means?
Well if you got ‘I am hot’, Google Translate will actually agree with you…but it doesn’t mean that at all. What it actually means is ‘I am horny’.
Yeah, I get it. Pretty rough around the edges, no doubt. I still don’t think this makes „AI powered“ or „assistet“ worse than conventional recruiting. That’s all I‘m saying. It’s also a buzz word that gets used for a lot more than it is worth btw.
The quality of conventional recruiters can vary wildly. I’ve dealt with both actual pieces of shit recruiters (the kind that try outright guilt tripping and manipulation) and some amazing ones.
Sure, that’s the same I have experienced but the argument I was making is that it’s not going to be worse if you train AI to especially target ND folks. It’s probably going to be worse than the good recruiters and better than the worst.
You do realise that’s going to be a metric fuckton harder than targeting neurotypicals, right? Like, bordering on impossible.
The clue is in the D of ND. To put it another way, let’s forget the entire spectrum of ND for a second and focus on ASD.
You not only need to train your AI on every possible interaction quirk an ASD person can have, such as trigger phrases to avoid and jobs they absolutely will not be able to do, you need it to be adaptable such that it can be useful to high functioning ASDers who can mask, to low functiiners that may not be able to leave the house but can maybe do some light computing work, and everywhere in between. And you need it to be able to detect which one it is dealing with.
That’s an impossible task, because the exact combination of issues, quirks, triggers, etc, are often very rare, if not completely unique.
But surely the AI can learn what the quirks of an individual are, right? Nope. AI learning relies on large datasets to do its work. Datasets that will not exist for all except the most common of issues and quirks. The most an AI can do is avoid a given topic when asked.
Now extrapolate that to the entire ND community. Good luck.
