Ageism forcing some women to consider revamping their resumes in a changing job market

As more companies are turning toward artificial intelligence to sift through thousands of applications, some women report increased incidences of ageism in the job market. This has forced applicants to consider what some call "resume botox," where one omits age or years of experience to increase the chances of getting hired. NBC News' Christine Romans reports on how job seekers are adapting.

@amydiehl I don't know why anyone is so surprised about that. Just think of what the AI's are trained with. With all the documents found on the internet. And we all know that the bias is still all around. So, i would be surprised if that wasn't also being reflected in the AI's training.
You can't just grab everything from Twitter, Facebook and such and hope it's going to work as expected.

So, it's not that AI that is failing here, it's the people who selected the training material.
