Is There Fairness in AI?
Abstract As predictive artificial intelligence (AI) technologies increasingly steer workplace decisions, debates around fairness have intensified. Existing research often approaches fairness either as a set of universal principles supported or undermined by algorithms, or as a product of social interpretations, thereby providing either technologically deterministic or purely social accounts. Drawing on an ethnographic study of a human resources (HR) department of a large international company that introduced AI…
After an international company introduced AI in hiring, HR's own version of fairness displaced the fairness practices of other experts, narrowing who defined fair hiring.
The findings come from an ethnographic study of a single HR department at one large international company, so the abstract does not show that the pattern holds elsewhere.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2307 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
