New AI-Powered Browser Dia Transforms Web Surfing Experience, While Meta Launches Video Model to Enhance AI’s Physical Understanding

AI-driven hiring algorithms are transforming recruitment by automating early applicant screening, but concerns are rising over fairness and accessibility. These systems often eliminate candidates before a human ever reviews their résumé, creating barriers for highly qualified individuals whose applications may not align with algorithmic criteria. As organizations increasingly adopt AI in selection processes, the lack of transparency and potential bias highlight the urgent need for oversight and human involvement to ensure equitable hiring outcomes.
