Yes, we do use artificial intelligence (AI) at times. However, we do not use your personal information in any automated decision making (a decision made solely by the creation and application of technologies without any human intervention) or profiling (processing of personal information with a range of technologies that reduce human intervention to evaluate certain conditions about an individual) that produces a legal effect or similarly significant effect concerning you.
We use a range of technologies to analyze data. In all cases, there is always human intervention in these processes, as we use these tools to support our expert human decision makers.
For example, when you are searching for a job as a “warehouse worker” we will display alternative but close job offerings like “pick packer” as well. The piece of processing that might use AI (for instance machine-learning, logic- or knowledge based and statistical approaches) is based on Natural Language Processing techniques to calculate similarities of words and word meanings. In any case these results are only shown to you as recommendations to make an informed decision about your application.
