HireVue is First HR Technology Company to Create Expert Advisory Board to Guide Continued Ethical AI Development
Expert advisory board's data privacy, algorithmic bias, behavioral science and data science experts consulted on newly published HireVue AI Ethical Principles
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- HireVue, provider of the most comprehensive AI-driven talent assessment suite and video interviewing solutions, has created an Expert Advisory Board to help guide ethical AI development and to advise on issues of diversity and inclusion, algorithmic bias and data security and privacy. It is the first company developing artificial intelligence-driven products in the human resources technology industry to do so.
"HireVue considers the ethical development of AI along with data security and privacy to be core values," said HireVue Chief Technology Officer Loren Larsen. "Creating a level playing field for anyone seeking a job has always been our mission, and we have always endeavored to build products that are ethical by design. Having recently hosted our nine millionth video interview, we see the rapidly increasing pace at which our technology is impacting jobseekers, and we know how important it is that we formalize our principles. To that end, we're honored to consult with the world-class experts in algorithmic bias, IO psychology, and data privacy and security who have joined our Expert Advisory Board."
The HireVue Expert Advisory Board has confirmed its first four members and held its inaugural meeting at company headquarters. The experts participating in the board to date are:
- Dr. Suresh Venkatasubramanian, Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Utah. Venkatasubramanian is known for his contributions to the study of algorithmic bias, computational geometry and data mining. He is a founding member of the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability and Transparency, a multi-disciplinary conference that presents research on fairness, accountability and transparency in socio-technical systems. Venkatasubramanian is also a member of the Board of Directors of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Utah.
- Sheryl Falk, Partner and co-leader of the Global Privacy and Data Security Task Force at Winston & Strawn. Falk brings significant investigation and litigation experience to her practice to navigate regulatory issues and litigation arising out of privacy and data security matters. A former Assistant U.S. Attorney, she has 25 years of litigation experience before state and federal courts and arbitration panels.
- Dr. Michael Campion, the Herman C. Krannert Chaired Professor of Management at Purdue University. Campion is the past president of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) and the 2010 winner of SIOP's Scientific Contribution Award.
