New special episode on EDPS on Air
The European Data Protection Supervisor's podcast released a special episode featuring Blue Book trainees discussing their five-month placement, their work, and a conference they organized on algorithmic hiring, data protection, and AI regulation in HR.
Why this matters: Hiring algorithms are already deciding who gets interviews and who disappears into the void. Most job seekers have no idea what signals these systems use or how to challenge a rejection. The fact that even EDPS trainees chose this as their focus topic tells you something. It is not an abstract policy issue. It is happening now, in ordinary hiring processes, with real consequences for real people and almost no transparency about how it works.
