In 2015, before anyone had ever uttered "ChatGPT," artificial intelligence already impacted job seekers in a big way. That year, Amazon realized that its machine-learning algorithms, meant to speed up its hiring process, were biased against women. Other cases of AI hiring discrimination abound, so much so that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission offers guidance for employers to ensure AI doesn't jeopardize fair hiring processes. Hiring bias isn't a new phenomenon: Some groups have long been unjustifiably overlooked in the job pool. In the meantime, job seekers are caught in the crossfire of AI's hiring mistakes.

For example, after cutting 500 salaried positions in February, General Motors offered voluntary employee buyouts to the majority of its 58,000 U.S. white-collar workers. So far, about 5,000 have opted into the "Voluntary Separation Program", or VSP, the company's CFO Paul Jacobson announced on Tuesday. Buyouts can also be less voluntary and more "a precursor to layoffs," says Lindsay Witcher, a senior executive at recruiting firm Randstad RiseSmart. Regardless, these types of buyouts are less voluntary and usually mean that the employee's position is about to be eliminated. Whether the buyout is a warning sign of layoffs or purely a voluntary option, a second opinion can provide necessary clarity.
