Artificial Intelligence in Recruiting. A Literature Review on Artificial Intelligence Technologies, Ethical Implications and the Resulting Chances and Risks
Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Computer Sciences - Artificial Intelligence, grade: 1,3, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Wirtschaftsinformatik), language: English, abstract: The thesis aims to analyze this field of tension between the benefits and risks caused by the introduction of AI into recruiting based on a systematic analysis of academic publications. To the knowledge of the author, neither a literature review on ethical challenges of AI-based recruiting tools nor an overview addressing application fields and the resulting ethical risks has been published so far. Consequently, this thesis aims to close this research gap by disclosing how AI technologies affect the recruiting process and how ethical challenges arising from the implementation of AI-based tools are addressed in the same publications. Consequently, research question (RQ) one (RQ1) and RQ two (RQ2) can be derived: Which AI technologies are applied in the field of recruiting, and how do they influence the recruiting process? Which major ethical challenges arise from the introduction of AI into recruiting, and how are these challenges addressed by the proposed AI-based tools? Addressing these two RQs, the remainder of this thesis is structured as follows. Chapter 2 classifies recruiting and its subprocesses as a part of Human Resources (HR), establishes a common understanding of AI and machine learning (ML) algorithms relevant in AI-based recruiting tools, and derives major ethical challenges with a focus on the ethical principles fairness and transparency. In chapter 3, the methodical approach used for identifying and selecting relevant literature is described. Chapter 4 answers both RQs, based on the AI-based recruiting tools included in the literature set. In turn, the first part of the analysis focuses on analyzing how the needs raised through traditional recruiting means are addressed by AI-based recruiting tools, also touching base on the underlying techno

Hacking with Kali-Linux
In my work, I keep coming across networks and websites with significant security problems. In this book, I try to show the reader how easy it is to exploit security holes with various tools. Therefore, in my opinion, anyone who operates a network or a website should know to some extent how various hacking tools work to understand how to protect themselves against them. Many hackers don't even despise small home networks. Even if the topic is very technical, I will try to explain the concepts in a generally comprehensible form. A degree in computer science is by no means necessary to follow this book. Nevertheless, I don't just want to explain the operation of various tools, I also want to explain how they work in such a way that it becomes clear to you how the tool works and why a certain attack works.

Digital Hate
The euphoria that has accompanied the birth and expansion of the internet as a liberation technology is increasingly eclipsed by an explosion of vitriolic language on a global scale.Digital Hate: The Global Conjuncture of Extreme Speech provides the first distinctly global and interdisciplinary perspective on hateful language online. Moving beyond Euro-American allegations of fake news, contributors draw attention to local idioms and practices and explore the profound implications for how community is imagined, enacted, and brutally enforced around the world. With a cross-cultural framework nuanced by ethnography and field-based research, the volume investigates a wide range of cases--from anti-immigrant memes targeted at Bolivians in Chile to trolls serving the ruling AK Party in Turkey--to ask how the potential of extreme speech to talk back to authorities has come under attack by diverse forms of digital hate cultures.Offering a much-needed global perspective on the dark side of the internet, Digital Hate is a timely and critical look at the raging debates around online media's failed promises.

Modern Front-End Architecture
Learn how to build front-end applications that can help you ship applications faster with fewer defects. Many software projects fail because they are not planned well, or lack organization. Applying strategies from other industries can help you create better software. This book explores the "mise en place" technique from cooking and reveals how you can apply it to the art of creating software.In many professional kitchens, the work of preparing a meal is divided and performed in workstations to help create the whole. You'll review the philosophy behind this and see how to leverage this approach in your code. You'll also learn to visualize your applications as a series of components and build parts of your application in isolation - just like a professional chef crafting each part of the meal.The book describes to how to structure your code base for reuse, and how to communicate the code's intent to other developers. You'll develop your components in isolation and testthese building blocks for quality at a granular level. Then compose these components as building blocks in increasingly complicated features. Finally, you'll apply some strategies not directly related to code to ensure maximum quality and efficiency.With Modern Front-end Architecture, developers of all levels will learn strategies that they and their teams can leverage to be more productive. What You'll LearnStructure an application as a series of componentsBuild a component library that others in an organization can leverageEnsure quality and accessibility at a component level rather than a page or app levelTest code in a way that gives the maximum amount of confidence while providing an excellent developer experienceAutomate repeatable tasksWho This Book Is For Front end developers looking to maximize their code for reuse, quality, and shipping featuresquickly.

The Theory of Hash Functions and Random Oracles
Hash functions are the cryptographer's Swiss Army knife. Even though they play an integral part in today's cryptography, existing textbooks discuss hash functions only in passing and instead often put an emphasis on other primitives like encryption schemes. In this book the authors take a different approach and place hash functions at the center. The result is not only an introduction to the theory of hash functions and the random oracle model but a comprehensive introduction to modern cryptography.After motivating their unique approach, in the first chapter the authors introduce the concepts from computability theory, probability theory, information theory, complexity theory, and information-theoretic security that are required to understand the book content. In Part I they introduce the foundations of hash functions and modern cryptography. They cover a number of schemes, concepts, and proof techniques, including computational security, one-way functions, pseudorandomness and pseudorandom functions, game-based proofs, message authentication codes, encryption schemes, signature schemes, and collision-resistant (hash) functions. In Part II the authors explain the random oracle model, proof techniques used with random oracles, random oracle constructions, and examples of real-world random oracle schemes. They also address the limitations of random oracles and the random oracle controversy, the fact that uninstantiable schemes exist which are provably secure in the random oracle model but which become insecure with any real-world hash function. Finally in Part III the authors focus on constructions of hash functions. This includes a treatment of iterative hash functions and generic attacks against hash functions, constructions of hash functions based on block ciphers and number-theoretic assumptions, a discussion of privately keyed hash functions including a full security proof for HMAC, and a presentation of real-world hash functions.The text is supported with exercises, notes, references, and pointers to further reading, and it is a suitable textbook for undergraduate and graduate students, and researchers of cryptology and information security.
