Who chooses whom? AI, inclusion and the future candidate experience

At Jobbfestivalen, Åsa Johansen joined a panel exploring how AI is changing recruitment and the candidate experience. The discussion highlighted both the opportunities and the risks. AI can help organizations identify talent, improve efficiency and create better candidate journeys. At the same time, there is a real risk of reinforcing existing biases if inclusion is not built into the systems from the start.

As Åsa put it during the conversation:

“Now we have an opportunity to do it over and do it right – to avoid building bias into the new systems and structures we’re creating.”

For Women in Tech Sweden, this is a crucial perspective.

AI is not just changing how we work – it is shaping who gets access to opportunities. Diverse voices must therefore be involved in designing the future of work from day one.

Because AI is not creating new inequalities – it risks amplifying the ones that already exist. The choices we make today will determine whether technology becomes a tool for greater inclusion or simply reproduces the biases of the past.
