E23 - AI and Hiring - Beyond Electric Sheep - A Podcast on AI
In this episode of the Beyond Electric Sheep Podcast on AI, Brick Thompson and Ed Daniels discuss AI and Hiring. How is AI being used to help you get a job? For employers, how can AI help you hire the best people? Our discussion extended into other related matchmaking topics such as dating. You can see the similarities, using AI to match a prospective employee with an employer, and using AI to match two people for a date and a possible relationship. One possible AI workflow for this is having “my people talk to your people” where ‘people’ are AI agents. Please listen, ‘like’ and ‘comment.’
The name of this podcast, Beyond Electric Sheep, is a reference to the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. That novel is the source for the movies Blade Runner (1982) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017). It explores the themes of artificial intelligence, empathy, and reality in a dystopian future where humans and androids coexist.
The novel raises the question of whether androids can dream or feel anything at all, and whether they are different from humans in any meaningful way. In our Beyond Electric Sheep podcast we go beyond the novel and the movies and discuss the broader implications and applications of artificial intelligence in our personal lives and in our businesses. We explore the pragmatic as well as the ethical and philosophical issues that arise from creating and interacting with intelligent machines.
