Hilke Schellmann is an investigative reporter and professor of journalism. Her work on AI has been published in The New York Times, The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal.
In this book, subtitled "how AI decides who gets hired, monitored, promoted and fired and why we need to fight back now," the author explores the types of algorithms used by vendors and corporations to ensure productivity through AI- (or algorithm-) enhanced hiring practices. Throughout her exploration of this topic the author decries a lack of transparency on the part of companies advancing such an agenda, and also the inadequacy of many algorithms with regard to hiring better workers.
The Algorithm probably won't tell you anything you don't know (or haven't suspected) about the corporate uses of AI already, but it does do a nice job of tying different aspects of the current AI trend together, resulting in a conclusion which is equal parts worrying and reassuring. This conclusion is, moreover, a call to action, in that the author hopes that public policy can be used as a safeguard against unfair hiring practices and the illegal monitoring of citizens.
I'd recommend this book for those wondering how big companies and local governments hire people in 2025. You might even find that some of the tactics discussed in this book have already been used against you.
