There is a thin line Between genius and deception. With the arrival of artificial intelligence, this line is fade even more and the scope of work interviews are a good example of this.
A student exceeded a technical interview of Amazon helped with AI and his success has had consequences: someone gave him away to his university, he has created a company so that others use AI in their work interviews and Google will stop doing their work interviews remotely in the face of increased the use of AI by the candidates.
The debate on whether the use of AI has been opened in a job interview It is cheating Or it is to use the tools at your fingertips to find a solution to the problem.
Entrepreneur or cheater?
According to published CNBCChungin “Roy” Lee is a 21 -year -old computer student at Columbia University who got some work interviews in large technological ones such as Amazon, Meta or Tiktok.
During the remote technical interview with Amazon, the student used an AI tool that he had created with which he could easily answer the programming questions and tests asked for the Amazon recruiter. “Today, everyone program with the help of AI,” said the young student to CNBC.
Technical tests are an essential requirement to access engineering positions in these large companies so the young man had no choice but to prepare conscientiously as can be checked on his profile of the website of the website Leetcode training.
Such and As you collect Gizmodothat training was one of the hardest tasks that Lee faced. “It was one of the most unhappy experiences I’ve had programming. I felt that I had to do it. It was something I needed for a job in a large technological company, and there was so much to learn, so much to memorize, and so many random problems that I could wait for me to ask me. He made me hate the programming.”
According to the student, the problems that arise in the interviews are very unlikely and more a “theater” approaches in which the interviewee pretends that he has never seen that problem, when in reality he has already studied and memorized his solution. “They are not representative of what you do as a programmer at work,” said the young man.
To lighten this “technical procedure” the student used a tool he had developed to successfully overcome his interview with Amazon. The test result was a success and ended up receiving a job offer in the company, although the young man rejected it since the interview was only a way to test his tool. A video with the recorded test that hung on your YouTube account (now not available) and on the tool website are proof of this.
Chivatazo and university file
Days after his technical interview, Lee received a notification from the University of Columbia informing him of a disciplinary hearing that the teaching entity had opened to the second year student, as you can read in the letter that Roy Lee has published In his X profile.
As published by Gizmodo, the University showed its rejection of the use of AI tools as “support” to these technical tests, which it considered as a trap.
“Amazon has a long tradition of collaboration with Columbia Engineering … and we are deeply worried that situations like this occur. We trust Columbia will take the appropriate measures regarding this student and we hope to continue with this long collaboration,” says the university in its writing.
The young man, far from being concerned about the measures undertaken by the entity, offers the tool so that other students and candidates can use it in their interviews.
Face to face in technology
Due to the increasingly frequent use of these AI tools during interviews, great technological ones are thinking about again doing these technical interviews in person.
Such and As I pointed out Cnbc en One of the latest meetings of L sundar interviews in person. This request contrasts with the fact that, only a few months before, the own Google CEO admit That, thanks to AI, around 25% of the Google code was generated by artificial intelligence.
The use of AI is increasingly present in selection processes. From the Use of candidate monitoring algorithms (ATS for the acronym in English of Applicant Tracking Systems), that They automatically select the curriculum of the most appropriate candidates, to methods of training for candidates Based on chatgpt or, like Roy Lee, the Use of AI during interviews remotely
The use of AI tools in selection processes, especially by candidates, has opened A debate on social networks On whether this is a lack of ethics, or is as valid as any other tool with which you work daily.
In this debate, there are those who see right to use these tools during the interview whenever it is done transparently, since it shows that the candidate has resources To find the solution to a problem.
“I remember that once, more than a decade ago, I said in an interview: ‘I do not know that specific command, but there is Google for what we do not know.’ assures a user which raises an equivalence between the use of AI and the search engine.
Others, on the other hand, ensure that the objective of these tests is precisely to check the programming skills. If it is altered using AI, loses its reason for being.
