Future Jobs for Artists: AI-Tricker

Can artists fool AI? Well, it might be possible. Previously, we discussed why Comedy Bits Beat AI. Here we analyze the recruitment situation where creatives and artists might help individuals to land a job. So, a new job in the future might be: AI-Tricker.

AI in Recruitment

We all know that algorithms and AI will be used also in recruiting – where AI should be advanced because in this field research started a long time ago. OK, there were “small incidents”. For example, back in the old days – more exactly in 2018 – Amazon had to ‘fire’ its secret AI recruiting tool because it showed bias against women. But, that did not stop startups and investors to continue perfecting the tool. AI has biases, research shows, but, in the end, biases can be overcome. Or should be overcome. One day. So, the business must go on!

The startup scene in this field is booming! Because AI is considered objective, without prejudice, faster (and it doesn’t appear on the payroll). But, a German team of reporters analyzed such a startup (from Munich, with a seven-digit funding, called Retorio). The entire research is here. And what they have found is amazing. And highlights the need for massive artistic intervention in this field.

Firstly the findings: what matters for AI when you have an interview?

• Glasses – if you wear glasses, you get extra points from the AI 🙂 nb: do developers think glasses = smart? Can’t even imagine why…
• Scarf – covering your hair with a scarf, means AI will rate you more open, conscientious, and less neurotic.

The reporters were amazed that the outfit matter! It is indeed unexpected that fashion matters to an algorithm – but the good side: AI is stylish! Moreover, it is human, it has that much appreciated “gut feeling” (without the paycheck).

Other small, stylish elements that mattered to AI were:

Conclusion: AI is Stylish! Artists are needed!

So, now it is crystal-clear: unless you don’t want to end up jobless, you need a whole team of creatives to make you look fabulous and actually prepared for that video job interview: clothing, image, background, so on. Officially, in companies, the official look is office-look. But! There are elements, small elements that can talk more about you as you have seen above. And the look can tell if you are more creative or a leader, so on.

Advice to all creatives: stop complaining about pandemic because a brand new world of job possibilities is here for you.
