Hiring AI shows bias, gives edge to resumes written by same model
A study found that AI used in recruitment tends to rate resumes more highly when they are written by the same chatbot model. Researchers from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore and Ohio State University called it “AI self-preference bias” and tested it using 2,245 human-written resumes from LiveCareer.com. Across multiple models, evaluators often favored same-model AI summaries even after controlling for writing quality. Mitigation tests reduced the bias.
