What is Career2040?

AR + Algorithm Hiring + Bias

Career2040 is a project aiming at providing an immersive AR experience in the form of an installation that simulates interview and hiring practices for young adults in 2040 based on AI and innovative readiness. The AR algorithm career decision-making experience will highlight the biases in the workforce and get people curious to have questions and reflections on biases and discrimination.
