From vetting resumes to screening candidates, many employers are using AI tools to identify top talent. But what happens when companies start relying on AI to help them decide who to hire or promote… and who to fire? In this episode of The TED AI Show, another podcast in the TED Audio Collective, host Bilawal Sidhu speaks with journalist Hilke Schellmann, whose research on the rapidly growing use of AI in the workplace highlights where algorithms are helping – and hurting – business. Hilke shares the surprising (and not surprising) ways AI works in the hiring process, and argues that transparency, regulation, and oversight are essential if AI is going to actually benefit employees and employers.

Looking for a new job can be daunting for everyone. When you’re neurodivergent, the stakes can be even higher in your search for the right role, team, and culture. How can you make the experience less frustrating and more liberating? In part two of Anne and Frances’s conversation with psychologist and author Ludmila Praslova they are joined by a caller who is curious about what his recent autism diagnosis means for his job hunt. The four explore questions about disclosure on the job, how to tell if a role is right for you, and how to use self-awareness to your advantage.What problems are you dealing with at work right now?

Neurodiversity is not always visible, understood, or valued in the workplace. But systems and cultures that support neurodivergent team members can lead to increased productivity and healthier workplaces – for everyone. Psychologist Dr. Ludmila Praslova joins Anne and Frances to discuss her groundbreaking book, The Canary Code, which guides readers through the work of “neuro-inclusion.” Together, they explore ways that better communication, innovative people practices, and more flexible job design can reduce stress and increase engagement across social, cognitive, and emotional differences.  Hosted on Acast.
