This article reports on the results of tests of two products specializing in AI job interviews, MyInterview and Curious Thing. They are (predictably) unreliable. For example, when an intrerviewee responded by reading the Wikipedia entry for psychometrics in German, Curious Thing awarded her a 6 out of 9 for English competency. Similarly, MyInterview "pulled personality traits from her voice," despite concerns that "intonation isn't a reliable indicator of personality." What we should take away from this article, I think, is, first, the fact that companies are using AI to assess interviews, and second, that we cannot (yet) depend on the algorithms - though, it's when they get good that the real etrhical issues will arise. Note that this article is one of '2 free stories remaining' for me; I recommend using Firefox with UBlock Origin to avoid paying for the article, but if you can't, you can see the first half of the article here or here. Meanwhile, perhaps someone can explain to me why an educational institution with an $18.4 billion endowment needs to put a paywall on scientific articles meant to inform the general public.
