Description
Emmy Award-winning journalist Hilke Schlemann’s groundbreaking and revealing book, The Algorithm, examines the pervasive and hidden influence of artificial intelligence in today’s workplace. Drawing on leaked documents, whistleblower reports, and real-world experiments, the author reveals how algorithms have secretly taken control of the careers of millions of people. She reveals that AI tools are now present in everything from reviewing resumes to monitoring employee behavior in real time.
In this work, Shellman delves deep into video assessment systems—tools that analyze job applicants’ facial expressions and tone of voice, or software that builds psychological profiles of employees by monitoring keyboard clicks and social media activity. The book argues, in a warning but documented tone, that many of these algorithms are riddled with racial, gender, and class biases, and that instead of creating justice, they reproduce and exacerbate structural discrimination in the form of computer code.
