About me
Hilke Schellmann is an Emmy award-winning investigative journalist and associate professor of journalism at New York University.
Her research focuses on algorithmic accountability and the societal implications of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly examining how AI systems impact employment, workplace surveillance, and fundamental questions of fairness in automated decision-making.
Schellmann’s investigative work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, and MIT Technology Review. She is the author of The Algorithm: How AI Decides Who Gets Hired, Monitored, Promoted, and Fired—and Why We Need to Fight Back Now, an in-depth examination of AI’s growing influence in the workplace.
Schellmann is developing new book projects and interdisciplinary research that bridge journalism and academic inquiry to investigate the real-world consequences of algorithmic systems.
