The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $460,000 Project Grant to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to support the "TRAPEZE: Responsible AI-Assisted Talent Acquisition for HR Specialists" project. This 4-year effort aims to empower human resources (HR) specialists in the technology and retail industries to better understand, validate, and influence the use of automated decision systems (ADS) in candidate screening and selection. The project will develop a human-in-the-loop framework called TRAPEZE to enable transparent and accountable AI-assisted hiring processes. Additionally, NJIT will create educational materials and methodologies to train HR specialists on AI accountability. The project outcomes include open-source software and publicly available training resources to strengthen the use of responsible AI practices in high-stakes talent acquisition decisions across various industries.
