News Summary

• More than half of UK employers in a new survey said they do not use AI to hire.
• That makes the UK the most cautious in the group, though its figure rests on a small number of companies.
• Just 5 percent would allow the AI to make a hiring decision on its own, while 44 percent would be willing to accept a decision reached by the AI in conjunction with a human.
• Four in ten said candidates’ use of AI makes their skills and backgrounds harder to verify, and a quarter said a rise in applications is slowing the screening process.
