Artificial Intelligence: The Robots Are Now Hiring - WSJ
-
- How robots hire job candidatesArtificial intelligence is becoming a key component in how companies hire, according to The Wall Street Journal. While computers scanning keywords in resumes is now common practice among large firms, hiring technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated, from avatars interviewing candidates to machine learning assessing a candidates public profiles for personality traits. The WSJ report looks at two firms upending the hiring process: DeepSense, which scans social media accounts to develop a picture of the candidate's personality, and HireVue, which assesses the candidate's behavior from a recorded video interview. Today's must-readJason BelliniJason Bellini • 3rdSenior Producer at The Wall Street Journal2dVideo interviews are becoming an increasingly common part of the hiring process — particularly for positions at large corporations. Most people taking these interviews assume a human being will be watching and evaluating them. Well...that’s not necessarily the case. We’ve been exploring the Wild West of hiring, the center of which happens to be in Utah. We visited a company that’s using AI and machine learning to analyze tone of voice, word clusters and even facial “micro expressions” to score job candidates. Scores of Fortune 500 companies are using this service. Is AI advanced enough to measure personality traits and compatibility for a job? Should people be clearly informed when their video interviews are being analyzed this way? Could algorithms help remove human bias from hiring?

Subject and Object Questions in English – Espresso English
-
- Who does want fruit juice?
Who wants fruit juice? - What did damage your house?
What damaged your house? - What do you want to drink?
- What did the earthquake damage?
The simplest rule for subject/object questions
When you are going to ask a question in the simple present or simple past using who or what, ask yourself,
“Am I asking about the doer of the action or the receiver of the action?”
If you’re asking about the doer/subject, then DON’T use do/does/did:
If you’re asking about the receiver/object, then YES – use do/does/did:
- Who does want fruit juice?
