Mitigating Discriminatory Impacts of Algorithmic Decision-making Systems in Hiring Processes: An Analysis Through the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business human Rights Framework

摘要

Using algorithmic hiring decision-making systems by companies have great benefits on companies for managing a huge number of job applications, reducing cost, saving time and increasing efficiency. On the other hand, algorithmic decision-making systems can lead to discriminatory impacts bringing together deepening vulnerability, exclusion and marginalisation as well as infringing enjoyment of basic human rights and freedoms Although companies play a central role in the development and use of algorithmic decision-making systems, so far only limited attention has been given to addressing these systems' discriminatory impacts on a corporate responsibility platform. Therefore, the intention of this paper is demonstrating how the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), specifically emphasising the corporate responsibility to human rights, play a significant role in mitigating discriminatory impacts of algorithmic decision-making systems.
