This is one of those stupid 'you have two free articles left' pages, but if you're blocked you can find most of it reprinted here or here. The hook is that LinkedIn's recruitment AI was biased (cue the moral panic) but the main lesson people should be taking away from this article (and the reason why it's worth reading) is that it describes how AI is used for recruiting. "ZipRecruiter, CareerBuilder, LinkedIn—most of the world's biggest job search sites use AI to match people with job openings." Why is this important? Because when this effort succeeds (and it will) then we will have no particular need for degrees, certificates and credentials. And when that happens, the historical monopoly education institutions have over recognition and assessment will end, which disrupts one of their core value propositions. When the university degree is no longer relevant, it's hard to imagine people paying tens of thousands of dollars to obtain one. Oh, and the AI bias? Even at its worst, I would say, it's far less than the historical bias found in academic institutions.
