24、If job seekers knew companies were using artificial intelligence to fill open positions, would it stop them from applying for the job? The answer, according to a recent study, is yes-sometimes.

The researchers found that in certain instances, like the screening (筛选) of applications, study participants usually accepted some degree of automation. But in other instances, like interviews, the study suggests, automation could discourage job seekers from applying for a position.

Companies contending with recent labour shortages are increasingly turning to AI as away to facilitate and speed up the hiring process. AI can be used in such tasks as screening job applicants for basic qualifications, checking for professional licenses, interviewing candidates and conducting competency assessments.

The new research underlines when using AI in hiring could be counterproductive (事与愿违的). The researchers found that if the job posting said AI was used to both screen applicants and conduct interviews，participants’ intention to apply to the position averaged 2.77 on a six-point scale. If AI was used only for the screening process, participants’ intention to apply averaged 3.73.

In another experiment, the authors also found that study participants saw pros as well as cons (利与弊) in the use of AI in interviewing.

Participants who saw a job posting stating that AI was used to both screen applicants and conduct interviews expected the hiring process to be more consistent in its judgments than those who saw postings with less Al involvement.

On the other hand, participants who were told the hiring would be fully automated tended to believe more than others that they had less agency or voice in the final outcome. Overall, the study results suggest this concern tends to outweigh the appreciation of AI’s lack of bias (偏见) at the interviewing stage.

“A hybrid approach where companies use AI in some tasks but not others may be a way to get the best of both worlds,” says Jenny Wesche, a co-author of the study and a research fellow at the Free University of Berlin. Participants may have been more open to automation earlier in the hiring process because they had little expectation of direct interaction at that stage and could see some benefits from using AI — such as less-biased decisions and the avoidance of problems like nepotism (任人唯亲), she says. But during the later stages, she suggests, applicants expect personal interaction, to give them an opportunity to sell themselves and to learn more about the company.

【1】Why do some companies use AI in job application?

A．To deal with the labour shortages.

B．To make sure the fairness.

C．To offer applicants more opportunities.

D．To choose excellent employees.

【2】The underlined word “agency” in paragraph 7 can be understood as ________.

A．organization

B．communication

C．concern

D．relationship

【3】The following statements are the benefits from using AI except that ________.

A．it can be less biased.

B．it can avoid the problem of nepotism.

C．it can facilitate and speed up the hiring process.

D．it can give applicants more personal interaction.

【4】What can we learn from the article?

A．AI will be widely used in job application.

B．AI will attract more and more job seekers.

C．AI has more pros than cons in the hiring process.

D．AI, good or bad, greatly depends on the context where it’s used.
