A Retrieval-Augmented Generation System for University Policy Querying; AI Recruitment Regulation
Abstract
STS Project In my STS project, I examined the current applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the recruitment sector and how they are regulated. My research question is: How is the use of AI in hiring being regulated, and what are the consequences of these regulatory approaches? As AI becomes more widespread in recruitment, there has been growing concern regarding bias, transparency, and fairness in its application. I introduced AI recruitment tools such as video interview analysis and applicant tracking systems. As one of the few states with AI-related laws, I analyzed two Illinois laws: the Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act of 2020 and the Illinois Human Rights Act Amendment of 2024. Additionally, I analyzed academic literature on the risks of AI recruitment, legal scholarship on Illinois’ laws, and corporate policy documents from HireVue, a company that has been providing AI recruitment tools since the 2010s, including its “AI Ethics Principles” and “Explainability Statement” posted on its official website. The research reveals that regulations governing the use of AI tools in recruitment in Illinois have evolved from being procedural to substantive. While the 2020 Act primarily focused on procedural factors such as notification, informed consent, and data deletion, it aims to ensure transparency and applicants' right to know. On the other hand, the 2024 Amendment addresses issues of discrimination and accountability. Despite the advances, current…
