I just had an "interview" for General Motors which is an utter fraud. No human is present, or reviews the footage. It is an AI based pre-screening designed to determine your employability, created by a company called HireVue, and even they aren't aware of the criteria their algorithm uses. Their algorithm hasn't been reviewed for bias by any outside party. There has been a complaint filed with the FTC by EPIC. Unfortunately over 700 companies already drank the cool-aid without considering the ethical implications of their actions. This is essentially the same as a polygraph, total pseudoscience with the pretty bow of AI on top. And there's no way to "stand out" to an AI. Showing off your little project won't impress a pile of linear algebra.
