Main Article Content
Abstract: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in recruitment has transformed traditional hiring practices, offering efficiency, scalability, and data-driven decision-making. However, the implications of AI on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) remain complex and multifaceted. This paper investigates how AI-driven recruitment tools affect DEI outcomes, examining both the potential benefits and inherent risks. Through an analysis of current literature and emerging trends, this research identifies the key challenges and opportunities for aligning AI recruitment technologies with DEI goals. Recommendations for ethical implementation and the role of human oversight are also explored.
