This poses an opportunity for social and ethnic discrimination against non-English-speaking job candidates in other parts of the world, such as developing countries. Moreover, biases even in AI algorithms may perpetuate discrimination against minority group members, as reported by the Financial Times.

This can cause significant adverse impact to the realization of human capital and productivity.
