DYM HumanReality (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kosuke Sasaki), a subsidiary of DYM Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuki Mizutani)—which operates diverse businesses including web services, human resources, international healthcare, M&A, and sports—took the stage at the OPEN8 PRIVATE SUMMIT 2026 held on Wednesday, May 27, 2026. They delivered a presentation titled, 'The risks of not adopting AI in hiring and accountability: Learning a hybrid strategy from University of Chicago research.'

Presentation highlights included: - Background of the growing attention on AI interviews - The importance of 'structuring' and 'consistency' in recruitment - The effectiveness of AI interviews based on University of Chicago and other research papers - Biases inherent in human interviews - Recruitment strategies combining AI and humans - The necessity of 'accountability' in the AI era

During the presentation, the company discussed the impact of 'structuring' and 'consistency' through AI interviews on recruitment accuracy, based on the research paper 'Voice AI in Firms' (2025) by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Erasmus University.

The talk addressed common issues in human interviews, such as the 'halo effect,' 'confirmation bias,' and 'similarity bias,' and introduced the effectiveness of competency-based evaluations using AI.

Furthermore, rather than advocating for full automation, the company emphasized the importance of a 'hybrid recruitment strategy' that leverages the strengths of both AI and humans. They specifically highlighted roles that only humans can fulfill, such as making 'final judgments,' ensuring 'cultural fit,' and 'allaying candidate anxieties.'

Additionally, the company discussed the necessity of 'explainable' AI interviews that can justify assessment results, noting that negative perceptions of being 'rejected' and concerns regarding accountability still persist within Japan.
