>A startup called Job Bolt has created AI avatars that conduct job interviews. The Register couldn't help but give it a try and can report that it's an unnerving experience. Job Bolt's pitch is that resumes and CVs are full of fibs that existing HR systems can't detect, so HR people can save time by screening candidates with AI interviews that allow employers to write a set of questions for a human-like avatar to ask during a session that feels a lot like a one-to-one Zoom call. Once the interview ends, Job Bolt uses AI to summarize the candidate's responses so human HR folks can decide who gets a meeting with a real person. Here's a video of a typical AI-hosted interview. It glitches a bit because we excised some gratuitous logo placement.

TBH: If they did the entire written application like this instead, I think it would be a much better system. If you're gonna be dehumanized anyway, you may as well pretend that SOMETHING cares. Most gen Z and Alpha can't write anyway. Their penmenship at 12th grade is often on par with grade school level.
