Hilke Schellmann never saw herself as a tech reporter. As a journalism professor at NYU who has covered subjects like sexual violence in Pakistan, Hilke first got interested in AI during a chance encounter with a Lyft driver who told her he had recently had an online job interview with a robot. That moment set her off on a years-long investigation to uncover how major American companies use AI to recruit and spy on their workers, which she documents in her new book The Algorithm. In this week’s episode, host Peter Bittner talks with Hilke about how employers are secretly using AI at work and what we can do to fight back.
