The [b]California Institute of Technology[/b] is launching an AI tool this fall to look for “authenticity” in students who submit research projects with their applications, admissions director Ashley Pallie said. Students upload their research to an AI chatbot that interviews them about it on video, which is then reviewed by Caltech faculty.

“It’s a gauge of authenticity. Can you claim this research intellectually? Is there a level of joy around your project? [b]That passion is important to us[/b],” Pallie said.

Well, obviously, if you’re assigning the job of assessing that “passion” to a chatbot. Jesus.[/quote]

Didn't say AI is gauging the passion.

Now, [b]a human observer probably won't see passion or joy in me talking to a clanker, though[/b]. [/quote]

Yes, this was my point. If you believe you need to interview the candidate to assess their passion and authenticity, then that conversation needs to happen human-to-human. [/quote]
It’s training for the real world. Nowadays, it’s common to do hirevue interviews where you get asked questions and have to show passion “to the void” for consulting apps.[/quote]
