Advancing technology not only has increased the speed in which background screening takes place, but has become an accessible tool for individuals, small businesses, and virtually anyone who once found the process to be cost- and time-prohibitive. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in background screening has allowed for trends and patterns to be recognized, gathering an overwhelming amount of data and condensing it into a report that is easy to interpret. A combination of AI and machine learning can take the information found in a person’s background and make relatively accurate predictions of future behavior, called predictive technology. And finally, continued monitoring with the use of software can alert those who have completed a background check to be alerted when something appears or disappears.
