Hilke Schellmann is a professor at New York University, an Emmy award-winning investigative reporter, and the first journalist to uncover widespread race, gender, and disability discrimination in Artificial Intelligence hiring and employment tools. Schellmann’s work covering technology has been published in The New York Times, The Guardian, the MIT Technology Review, and The Wall Street Journal, where she led a team investigating how AI is changing our lives. In her book, The Algorithm: How AI Decides Who Gets Hired, Monitored, Promoted & Fired & Why We Need to Fight Back Now, which The New York Times called “one of the best five books on AI,” Schellmann investigates the rise of algorithms in the world of work. Drawing on exclusive information from whistleblowers, internal documents, and real world tests, she discovers that many of the algorithms making high stakes decisions are biased, racist, and do more harm than good.
