Welcome to Double Standards Games, Corporate Edition.
So here is the contract. Goldman Sachs, a multinational investment banking and financial services company, warns job seekers not to use ChatGPT, Google or external help during interviews.
In an email sent to university students applying for work, the bank essentially stated:
Meanwhile, they are swimming on their own AI.
Company AI, but not for potential employees
Goldman Sachs has long been screaming about how generative AI can revolutionize productivity.
They have built their own internal AI assistants to help employees write emails and translate code. They deployed AI tools across multiple departments.
And they even outsource interviews HireVue – An AI-driven platform that scans candidates’ answers and determines who deserve and who are not for the next round.
So, let’s sum up: you are about to find a job, you are very nervous about it, but you are not allowed to google the name of your interviewer. But Goldman Sachs? They use the most advanced bots to judge you.
“We want to hear your voice,” the company says
And these interviews aren’t exactly cakes. Applicants only have 30 seconds to prepare and answer one question for two minutes. There’s no pressure, right?
“We want to hear from applicants in our own voice,” said spokesman Jennifer Zuccarelli. luck.
Essentially, the company is asking artificial intelligence to determine candidates, while demanding a load of originality.
But wait, there’s more
And Goldman is not alone in this double standard championship.
The creator of AI Chatbot Claude (a company called Anthropic) recently wrote in a job posting that he wants to understand your personal interest in humanity without mediating through the AI system. So, in short, the companies that create AI don’t want you to use it.
Amazon? The same thing. They told recruiters to disqualify those captured using AI during the interview process. Meanwhile, Amazon is investing billions of dollars in AI, encouraging staff to lean hard on technology to speed up workflows.
hypocrisy?
All things considered, honestly, there is a lot of hypocrisy here.
You apply to a lot of jobs and their explanations are written by AI. And you won’t hear any responses from most of these applications.
When they reply to you, some people who are led by flashy HR specialist AI systems will ask you what your motivation is to sell AI systems and why you have a passion for this field. And all your answers will be analyzed by increasingly sophisticated bots.
Meanwhile, you’re supposed to turn off your phone, turn off your phone and throw your laptop out the window when you talk to them. It appears to be about control, not about work ethic or fairness.
You need to see (literally) learnt lessons and at best Nokia 3310 in your lessons, but they can use all the AI tools in the world.
