Quotes:

“Machine learning is this great opportunity to synthesize this massive complexity and distill it to a form that becomes usable, but [machine learning] also elevates the level of work that our HR colleagues can perform.”

“The model really is meant to catch . . . the combination of variables that make [your data] inaccurate. And so that's where the model comes in—[it’s] able to raise that level of sophistication.”
