AI Recruitment Tool for UK Military Hosted by Amazon 'Presents Data Breach Risks'
An AI tool hosted on Amazon's servers, designed to streamline recruitment processes for the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), may pose a risk of public identification for military personnel, according to a government evaluation. The Textio system, which optimizes job advertisement language to attract a diverse range of candidates, stores sensitive information such as names, roles, and email addresses of military personnel on Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers located in the US. This raises concerns that a potential data breach could lead to the exposure of defence personnel.
