Hi Pasencore. Yes, many AI interview systems record video and audio. They have been programmed to analyze a set of characteristics. These might be eye contact, head movements, signs of anxiety, and "engagement." You have to beat an algorhitm, so it's really important to understand how to succeed.

AI-Led Job Interviews: A Practical Guide for Success AI-led job interviews are increasingly becoming a gatekeeper during the hiring process. Companies across many industries are turning to artificial intelligence to screen candidates before a human revi...

I certainly hope that the US will continue to provide leadership in science, medicine, and technology as well as to collaborate with scientists in the EU and other centers. One can hope!

Thank you for your insights. It would be great if you could post some information on this server so we can all learn.

Europe wants to attract American scientists - The World from PRX In the wake of federal funding cuts that threaten scientists’ jobs in the US, programs have emerged across Europe to attract those worried American scientists. The World’s Gerry Hadden reports from a ...

Europe steps up as US science funding shrinks. Aix-Marseille’s $16M “Safe Place for Science” drew an unexpected 300+ US applicants in 2 weeks, while the EU launches a $500M “Choose Europe for Science” push to attract top researchers. 🧪🧬🔬 #SciComm

As I responded above, this was just an interesting exercise to throw at some electrons moving through circuitry. That's all...

See my reply to the first comment. This was meant to give a set of electrons something interesting to chew on. We could use something less than mega serious with all going on now.

Oh yes. Agreed. I know it's a bunch of electrons moving through circuitry guide by some lines of code. And it reacts differently dat]y to day and for different people. That doesn't preclude making it really interesting to probe how it reacts to a set of scenarios.

An agenda for science communication research and practice | PNAS Science should not unilaterally dictate individuals’ decisions or public policies. Yet, it provides a vital source of information for societies and...

What if science communication wasn’t just about facts—but about trust, humility & shared values? This new agenda from PNAS calls for participatory models to replace top-down fixes. In this ultra-polarized environment, it’s about co-creation, not just correction. What are your thoughts? 🧪🧬🔬

Agreed. Thank you for raising this point. Science is full of technical jargon, and many times scientists aren't trained to communicate to audiences with different backgrounds...leading to a communication gulf.

You raise an excellent point. Technology is moving so quickly now, well in front of regulations and clear thought to potential use/misuse.

Agreed! Thank you for taking time to weigh in.
