About

Airlie Hilliard is a leading voice in the ethical and societal implications of artificial intelligence, with a sharp focus on algorithmic fairness and the public perception of emerging technologies. Her research critically examines the intersection of AI, employment, and existential risk. In her highly cited 2022 work, "Robots are judging me: Perceived fairness of algorithmic recruitment tools" (19 citations), Hilliard investigates how job candidates perceive the fairness of AI-driven hiring processes, revealing deep concerns about transparency and bias in automated decision-making. She further explores the broader societal unease with AI in her 2024 paper, "Are the robots taking over? On AI and perceived existential risk" (9 citations), which analyzes how public anxiety about AI's transformative potential shapes discourse and policy. Hilliard also provides crucial analysis of regulatory responses, notably in "Regulating the Robots: NYC Mandates Bias Audits for Ai-Driven Employment Decisions" (6 citations), where she dissects landmark legislation aimed at curbing algorithmic discrimination. Her work is essential for understanding the human dimensions of AI adoption, making her a pivotal researcher for students and scholars interested in responsible technology, labor ethics, and the future of work.
