'I was just talking into a void': how AI could reject you at your next job interview
Briefly

Artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing the hiring process, with sophisticated tools analyzing everything from jobseekers' body language to keyword optimization in CVs. While this technology can streamline hiring, it carries the risk of bias, raising concerns about fairness in recruitment. The growing reliance on AI, as seen in interviews conducted without human oversight, often leads to job applicants feeling disconnected and uncertain about their opportunities, enhancing the debate on the merits and drawbacks of AI in the workplace.

This growing detachment between candidates and interviewers raises questions about the relationship between jobseekers and technology and whether future hires will adequately reflect human potential and diversity.
