Jeff Pole runs Warden, an AI assurance provider that evaluates and communicates the trustworthiness of AI systems, with a particular focus on HR technology. Their platform does continuous auditing and testing for AI risks, such as bias, and helps support businesses to be compliant - particularly around new AI regulations - and build trust through transparency. In this conversation, Jeff talks to Sultan about: The changing nature of AI and automation in HR, and the associated risks The process of continuous auditing , and testing for bias in AI models Transparency as a core theme in relevant regulations and guidelines Building trust in models and through user experiences The importance of explainability in AI-powered systems Using AI to actually reduce bias in hiring and other HR processes “There’s also a win-win opportunity here: Where the people-based processes the AI might be complementing are not necessarily what we should be emulating … We know there’s a huge amount of unconscious bias in human processes; for example, in hiring. And the AI can, if carefully designed and properly used, actually be an improvement on that status quo.” - Jeff Pole, Co-founder & CEO, Warden AI
