When we think of ageism, we often think of discrimination against older adults. However, ageism occurs across the entire lifespan; in the tech world, for example, being "old" can start as early as 35. In this episode, Dr. Ittay Mannheim joins us to discuss the intersection of ageism, digital technology, and AI.
In this episode you’ll learn:
What ageism entails and how it manifests across the lifespan
How vacancy phrasing and job descriptions can already be biased
What mixed-methods research is and how it can be applied
The pitfalls and risks of using AI in job recruitment
How a hackathon can help address age bias and fairness in AI systems
