Selection tools employing artificial intelligence (AI), such as automated video interviews (AVIs), chatbots, and assessment games, have become popular ways for organizations to deal with large numbers of job applicants. Vendors frequently claim that these technologies are unbiased. However, the impact of these tools on applicants
with disabilities is rarely addressed. We explain how these tools may have both positive and negative impacts on applicants with disabilities. In doing so, we consider fundamental principles of selection: the reliability and validity of these tools as well as the applicant experience. We end by offering recommendations to organizations
that are considering incorporating AI-based tools into their selection processes.
Supply chains often match the supply of labour to uncertain demand by using precarious workprecarious workers. This increases flexibility and lowers costs for the supply chain by shifting risk to the workers and costs to society. Supply chains are maximizing profits, often literally, on the backs of their workers by creating serious negative externalities for society. We address this issue using a powerpower perspective because powerpower is asymmetrically oriented against workers in many supply chain contexts. This allows us to identify examples of how to reverse this trend and shift powerpower back to workers. The goal is to get to where stakeholders understand the costs and limited benefits of precarity, where we can separate the notion of flexibility from low costs, and where through a combination of incentives, policy, social norms of ethical behaviour, and consumer action, we can get to a better place than where we are now.
