採用判断でAIを使うことを、開示すべきか。

Debates about disclosing the use of AI in recruitment concern more than the technology itself. Three distinctions help clarify the issue: the information applicants receive, the safeguards used to assess decisions, and the scope of any disclosure requirement.

First, disclosure and explanation are different. A company might announce that it uses AI without describing which stages of recruitment involve the system. A more detailed notice could describe whether it screens applications or helps rank candidates. The amount of information provided therefore affects what applicants can understand.

Second, transparency and fairness are not the same. Knowing that an automated tool is involved does not establish whether its decisions are accurate or whether particular applicants are disadvantaged. Reviewing the system’s performance and providing ways to raise concerns are separate issues from announcing its use.

Third, the scope of a requirement matters. Using AI to schedule interviews is different from using it to reject applications. A discussion of disclosure can distinguish administrative assistance from systems that influence selection. It can also examine who receives the notice, when it is provided, and how it is kept up to date.

In summary, recruitment efficiency, disclosure, and oversight are related but distinct. Separating these concepts makes it possible to discuss a specific disclosure proposal without assuming that all uses of AI raise identical questions.
