Practical GDPR: the AI Recruitment DPIA

The University of Langley is an up and coming educational institution, expanding its reach into AI research and a new robotics centre that has just received a huge investment from an Azerbaijani businessman. With that foreign investment comes a significant expansion in staff numbers, and in keeping with the University’s future-facing strategy, the HR department are upgrading their tech stack.

One of the University’s partners is Aware Technologies, a controversial South Korean company specialising in AI, surveillance and profiling. They have offered the University discounted use of several of their products, hoping to get some positive publicity in the UK market. Originally, no DPIA was carried out, but following an embarrassing incident where the Vice Chancellor accidentally CC’d a group of potential investors from somewhat controversial places when he intended to BCC them, the University’s senior management is keen to avoid any further DP foul-ups.

You work for ‘Get Data Protection Right’, a well-known and highly respected DP consultancy. You’re asked to review the new recruitment and selection tool Supersifter, which comes with a variety of components. These include automated screening of CVs for keywords and also the ability to use sentiment analysis. Another feature is Sievee, the AI-powered bot that conducts first round interviews with candidates, using conversational screening techniques and biometric emotion tracking using Aware’s pioneering Body Mapper technology. This may take a while, but if not, we’ll also look at the company’s home working analyser WorkWatch.

You’ll consider the various use cases for the elements of these products, identify the risks using the Information Commissioner’s Data Harms Taxonomy and work out how to mitigate them.
