How Artificial Intelligence is being used in job interviews in China | DW News

We're all familiar with strategies for a successful job interview. Make eye contact, have a firm handshake, and so on. But if you're applying for a position in China, it might be a computer you have to impress. That's as Chinese companies increasingly use artificial intelligence to help them vet potential new hires.

Imagine being rejected from a job by a robot.
That would mess me up

[fujihita]

Well, at least hiring competent hacker won't be an issue anymore.

[sipsofhell]

i like how they make their own nightmare

Artificial intelligence has been suggested for interviews to eliminate bias of individual interviewers. The risk is bias in the algorithms.

[padtag]

Why your correspondence/China expert/consultant ALWAYS non China based personnel? Prerequisites for biased reporting?

[mrcet]

I’ll give this one a “monster maybe”… The false negatives are what concern me the most. That is, if you are reasonably well-qualified, but you have a facial-expression “tick” that the AI weighs too heavily against, you may never be given a fair chance at the job.

[niceuuuu]

Job is only first step to go trade.
When you got your trade you don't need your job anymore

[juxtapositionMS]

Just because China has mastered it everyone is concerned although west has been using more intrusive application of AI.

[worldpeace]

Now you only need to learn how to score well with the algorithm because it doesn’t seem to care for content nor the person

[malamutmadre]

The Chinese work all year round, Work is a priority. He has two days a year to visit his family. He only communicates by phone with his family... and where is life? life passes. he does not see children.

It is showed that AI is actually not that good in emotional expressions of humans, so this choice is informed entirely from a financial perspective. It will prove to be more discriminatory and disastrous.

[cancerino]

I guess AI likes honey bears, that's how the president got the job.

[leinadreign]

In the end technology is becoming owning you

[martagallo]

To this day, domestic animals are members of "some" families, from now on, artificial intelligence is the mistress of the house and with humans included. Greetings from Medellín. Colombia. 🇨🇴

[牛皮纸老虎]

From Taipei? DW can't go mainland China any more?

[MrJoysiq]

This is why i got a trade instead, thank god i never had to do this absolute trash.

[danmarijanovic]

This is how much these companies care about their potential new hires :S

[Juniperus_Godegara]

If we will be able to replace 90% of human workforce what will happen to the people? Will people just sit around and wait for their daily porrage to eat or what? What is the point of completely dehumanize industries and get rid of the human factor, how is that serving humanity?

[HarvickOne]

giving AI the authority to decide if someone is worthy of a having a job is a pretty bad thing in my opinion, just imagine getting turned down from companies dozens times without even talking to a real person

[patrickstar]

People are against this but at the same time complain the their own country isn't modernized enough... So dumb
