Google's AI Recruitment Tool Questioned by Own DeepMind Team Over Potential Resume Screening Errors

Google promotes AI recruitment tools to enterprise clients, but its own Google DeepMind AGI Safety and Alignment team encourages applicants to fill out an additional form to prevent their applications from being incorrectly filtered or delayed by the internal AI system. Internal documents state that the system "has a significant probability of incorrectly filtering out your resume" and note "please do not share widely." A Google DeepMind spokesperson responded that the internal system will not incorrectly eliminate candidates, and the specialized form is simply to allow applications to bypass recruiter review and be delivered directly to team members.
