Priyanka argues that AI is exposing problems already present in hiring, education and organisational design. The discussion covers AI-generated CVs, ATS bias, experience and judgment, AI literacy, entry-level work, upskilling, psychological safety, shadow AI, data leakage and sustainable recruitment.
