Through whistleblower exclusives, leaked internal documents, and astonishing real-world practices, journalist Hilke Schellmann reveals the secret rise of AI in the world of work. Testing them herself, she discovers that many algorithms making these high-stakes calculations do more harm than good, and traces their origins to troubling pseudoscientific ideas about people's 'true' essence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInterviewing experts, developers, and ordinary workers, \u003cem\u003eThe Algorithm\u003c\/em\u003e offers fascinating and alarming truths. From software analysing interviewees' facial expressions and tone of voice, to video games assessing their performance, to 'personality profiles' built from candidates' social media, almost all major employers use AI in recruitment.
