Think about it,

What are most interesting discoveries on Product Hunt that are super obvious later, but invisible at the start.

It is a question of choosing between two evils for us now. Neither option is completely free of flaws.

Human: Recruiters with "gut feelings" who harbor unconscious bias. they reject excellent candidates who just didn't go to the "right" school or didn't just "click." Inconsistent, unfair, and un-auditable.

AI: Algorithms whose training datasets are themselves replete with historical biases. They increase the scale of discrimination at light speed, becoming so-called black boxes that end up rejecting qualified candidates for reasons that humans cannot even fathom.

We are truly deciding to exchange messy, subjective human prejudice for cold, ruthlessly efficient algorithmic prejudice. Is that really an upgrade?

It will sound like something from prehistoric times, but in my country, the vast majority of employers give women lower salaries than men. Fortunately, I don't feel it that much because I work with foreign clients, but I don't think it's fair.

(But we probably all know why this is the case less is invested in women, because it is expected that they will go on maternity leave one day and therefore have no prospect of staying in the job longer compared to men, where the continuity of work is higher)
