Illinois cracks down on AI interviews - Marketplace

When applying for a job these days, there's a chance your interviewer could be a robot. A growing number of companies are embracing artificial intelligence technology to sift through job candidates. The state of Illinois has a new law, effective this week, that requires companies to disclose that AI is being used in interviews and how. When a job applicant sits down for a video interview, AI can pick up on a lot of things. "You know, if he twitches too much or if he moves too much, or if his voice changes," said Illinois state Rep. Jaime Andrade, who co-sponsored the law. He said we don't know yet whether AI really picks the best candidates, and he's not sure it's always fair to job applicants.
