Early childhood teaching applicant says AI interviewer was dehumanising, withdraws application
Overview
An Australian masters student applying for a preschool education role says a sessional kindergarten's AI assistant interviewed her, cut her off when she paused to think, and answered her questions only with job-ad text.
She withdrew her application, and says the organisation has not responded in more than a month. The report, published by The Guardian, is a single applicant's account; the kindergarten's response is not reported.
