Has artificial intelligence revolutionized recruitments? Source: Shutterstock

Though the technology has been around for over a decade now, the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in employment recruiting expanded rapidly throughout 2020 in response to Covid-19.Due to the pandemic alone, the adoption of new technological behaviors, from video-conferencing to remote working, reached levels that were not expected until 2025 or even 2030.

In fact, a report from The Economist cites research from global consultancy firm McKinsey where they acknowledge that recent data has showed that we have essentially vaulted forward five years in digital adoptions, both in consumer and business behaviors. All in the space of just eight weeks.

The accelerated use of AI and machine learning by recruitment specialists over the past year has added thousands of jobs to the global market, and most importantly become essential prerequisites for enhancing recruiting efforts for companies around the world.

Well, for starters its incredibly precise, accurate and fast. AI has an unparalleled ability to rapidly sift through millions of data points among candidates, enabling recruiters to quickly identify high-potential individuals suited for open roles.

Additionally, AI allows recruiters to tap into a wider talent pool to source potential candidates. This includes scouring through online career boards, social media platforms, and even going through agency databases.

Prior to the pandemic, some large organizations had already adopted digitally-led human resource processes and were using AI for candidate consideration. Multi-national telecommunications company, Vodafone was already using AI to sift through over 100,000 graduates applying for 1,000 jobs.With such a high volume of candidates, the companys HR department recently teamed up with HR software company HireVue to test an AI application that removes human bias from the recruitment process. The system works by extracting as many as 25,000 data points from video interviews.It examines visual and verbal cues from candidates, comparing their word choice, facial movements, body language, and tone to help identify the best ones. Utah-based HireVuus AI system uses previously recorded videos of job applicants, asking them interview questions via their laptops webcam and microphone, and using subsequent movements and answers to base their concluding points.

HireVue has shared that between its inception and September 2019, it had conducted a total of 12 million interviews. Out of these, about 20% were done using AI software. The other 80% were done using a human interviewer on the other end of a video screen. The overall figure has now risen to 19 million, with the same percentage split.

HireVue first started offering AI interviews in 2016. Users of this service include computer chip designer ARM, and travel services firm Sabre.

Another US-based firm, Pymetrics has been using AI software in the initial recruitment processes of a number of multinational companies on their client roster. These include globally-recognized names like McDonalds, JP Morgan Bank, accountancy firm PWC, and food group Kraft Heinz. If AI deems the candidate suitable, a human recruiter will then set up an in-person interview.

A report from 2019 said that the growth in the use of AI will replace 16% of recruitment sector jobs before 2029.

Even global research and advisory firm Gartner predict AI-related job creation will reach two million net-new jobs in the next few years.

The World Economic Forum in its recent report went on to identify data analysts and scientists, AI and machine-learning specialists, big data specialists, and digital marketing and strategy specialists as the top four roles seeing increased demand.

While China and the US are competing for the first position in the AI race, small and big businesses throughout Southeast Asia also have developed some innovative AI solutions, too, but not without some challenges.

Even a McKinsey Global Institute study on AI reveals that those companies that have a clear plan to apply machine intelligence in their business are seeing a significant impact on their business. That same study reported that more than 30% of Southeast Asias biggest companies mentioned terms such as machine learning and AI in their most recent annual reports, compared to only 6% in 2011 illustrating that AI is moving to the forefront of businesses strategies.

According to Vervoe, SMEs can use AI in hiring in three specific parts of the process; sourcing: to find and connect with talent faster; screening: to identify and select the best applicants quickly; interviewing: to schedule interviews and save time.

There are also tools that use AI to improve recruiting results on a small business budget such as Vervoe, SmartRecruiters, ZipRecruiter, Workable, Breezy, and BambooHR.

Researchers have developed a new method to counter emergent mutations of COVID-19 and hasten vaccine development to stop the pathogen responsible for killing thousands of people and ruining economies.

Using Artificial Intelligence (AI), the research team at the University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering developed a method to speed the analysis of vaccines and zero in on the best potential preventive medical therapy.

According to the researchers, the method is easily adaptable to analyze potential mutations of the virus, ensuring the best possible vaccines are quickly identifiedsolutions that give humans a big advantage over the evolving contagion.

"This AI framework, applied to the specifics of this virus, can provide vaccine candidates within seconds and move them to clinical trials quickly to achieve preventive medical therapies without compromising safety," said researcher Paul Bogdan from the varsity.

"Moreover, this can be adapted to help us stay ahead of the coronavirus as it mutates around the world," Bogdan added, in the study published in the journal Scientific Reports.

When applied to SARS-CoV-2the virus that causes COVID-19the computer model quickly eliminated 95% of the compounds that could've possibly treated the pathogen and pinpointed the best options, the study said.

The AI-assisted method predicted 26 potential vaccines that would work against the coronavirus. From those, the researchers identified the best 11 from which to construct a multi-epitope vaccine, which can attack the spike proteins that the coronavirus uses to bind and penetrate a host cell.

Vaccines target the regionor epitopeof the contagion to disrupt the spike protein, neutralizing the ability of the virus to replicate, the team said. Moreover, the engineers can construct a new multi-epitope vaccine for a new virus in less than a minute and validate its quality within an hour, they added.

By contrast, current processes to control the virus require growing the pathogen in the lab, deactivating it and injecting the virus that caused a disease. The process is time-consuming and takes more than one year; meanwhile, the disease spreads.

About: Researchers from Dartmouth College, University of Texas and ProtagoLabs described metrics for measuring political bias in GPT-2 generation and proposed a reinforcement learning (RL) framework to reduce political biases in the generated text. Using rewards from word embeddings or a classifier, the RL framework guided the debiased generation without having access to the training data or requiring the model to be retrained. The researchers also proposed two bias metrics (indirect bias and direct bias) to quantify the political bias in language model generation.

About: Researchers from Amazon and UC Berkeley studied the problem of batch learning from bandit feedback in extremely large action spaces. They introduced a selective importance sampling estimator (sIS) operating in a significantly more favorable bias-variance regime. The sIS estimator is obtained by performing importance sampling on the conditional expectation of the reward concerning a small subset of actions for each instance.

About: Researchers from Microsoft and Beihang University proposed a self-attention attribution algorithm to interpret the information interactions inside the Transformer. As part of the research, the scientists first extracted the most salient dependencies in each layer to construct an attribution graph, which reveals the hierarchical interactions inside the Transformer. Next, they applied self attention attribution to identify the important attention head. Finally, they showed that the attribution results can be used as adversarial patterns to implement non-targeted attacks towards BERT.

About: Researchers from Harvard University and Carnegie Mellon University introduced LIZARD, an algorithm that accounts for decomposability of the reward function, smoothness of the decomposed reward function across features, monotonicity of rewards as patrollers exert more effort, and availability of historical data. According to them, LIZARD leverages both decomposability and Lipschitz continuity simultaneously, bridging the gap between combinatorial and Lipschitz bandits.

"This year's World Cancer Day's theme, 'I Am and I Will', is all about you and your commitment to act. The new state-of-the-art artificial intelligence integrated PET-CT scanner at Yashoda Hospital Somajiguda is one more step towards our commitment to early detection of Cancer. The new scanner is now two times faster than the old generation scanners primarily due to the advanced technology known as 'Time of Flight'. The scanner provides best quality images with reduced scanning duration and lesser radiation dose," said Dr. G. Srinivasa Rao, Director of Public Health & Family Welfare, Government of Telangana.

Yashoda Hospitals Somajiguda is well equipped with a comprehensive Nuclear Medicine set up providing services like PET-CT, Gamma camera imaging and radionuclide therapy under one roof. Apart from the newly upgraded imaging of FDG PET-CT, the department provides advanced and rare imaging like Ga-68 DOTA, Ga-68 PSMA, 18F DOPA PET-CTs, DAT imaging & WBC scans, apart from routine Gamma imaging like bone scan & renal scintigraphy.

"Yashoda Hospitals Somajiguda is one of the busiest and high volume centres of radionuclide therapies for thyroid cancer, neuroendocrine tumours, and prostate cancer. The Centre also provides rare therapies like radiosynovectomy for inflammatory joint disease. Patients not only from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, but across India, visitus for these rare therapies. NextGen PET-CT is effective in the diagnosis of Cancer, Endocrine Abnormalities and Neurodegenerative Disease," said Dr. Lingaiah Amidayala, Director - Medical Services, Yashoda Hospitals Group, Hyderabad.

The Combined PET-CT Scan at Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda merges PET and CT images and provides detailed information about the size, shape and differentiating cancerous lesions from normal structures with accuracy. It is a diagnostic examination that combines two state-of-the-art imaging modalities and produces 3 dimensional (3D) images of the body based on the detection of radiation from the emission of positrons. It helps in early detection of cancer and any potential health problem that reveals how the tissues and organs are functioning by identifying a variety of conditions.

Dr. Hrushikesh Aurangabadkar and Dr. A Naveen Kumar Reddy, Consultants in Nuclear Medicine while explaining about the PET-CT said, "The cancer cells require a great deal of sugar, or glucose, to have enough energy to grow. PET scanning utilizes a radioactive molecule that is similar to glucose, called fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). FDG accumulates within malignant cells because of their high rate of glucose metabolism. Once injected with this agent, the patient is imaged on the whole body PET scanner to reveal cancer growth, which are usually difficult to characterize by conventional CT, X-Ray, or MRI."

With this new technology, motion artifacts caused by respiration can be decreased and accurate diagnosis achieved.

The use of PET scans will also help the doctors to more accurately detect the presence and location of new or recurrent cancers.
