As technology advances, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in various sectors continues to be a topic of debate. One such area is job interviews, where AI is increasingly being employed to streamline the recruitment process. However, public opinion on this matter varies, and a recent survey by SuperJob, a leading job search service, sheds light on the views of residents in Yakutsk, Russia.
The survey, conducted from August 1-6 among economically active residents of Yakutsk, reveals that while some are open to the idea of AI-driven job interviews, others express concerns.
Among the Yakutians surveyed, 43% are open to partial use of computer algorithms for job interviews, indicating a willingness to embrace technology in the recruitment process. This figure is particularly high among those with vocational education, who are more likely to approve of AI as a full replacement for recruiters.
However, the survey also indicates a significant portion of Yakutians are sceptical of AI in job interviews. 21% of city residents are absolutely opposed to using AI for job interviews, while another 43% are categorically against it. Only 6% of Yakutians are ready to fully trust artificial intelligence with candidate interviews for job vacancies.
The novelty of AI in job interviews seems to draw some, with anything new and unknown being intriguing. However, concerns about objectivity and the potential for AI to avoid discrimination are also prevalent.
Interestingly, the survey results show that men are more likely than women to reject the use of AI in interviews. Conversely, women are more open to limited use of new technologies, including AI, in interviews.
The survey further reveals that university graduates are less likely to be ready for an AI interview than those who have completed college. On the other hand, 28% of city residents are somewhat ready to have an AI interview instead of a recruiter, while 14% are definitely ready for such an interaction.
It is important to note that the survey did not indicate the total number of Yakutians surveyed, limiting the scope of the findings. Nevertheless, the survey provides a valuable insight into the public opinion on AI in job interviews in Yakutsk, Russia.
While specific data on public opinion among Yakutians was not found in the present sources, a general overview of common public perspectives worldwide on AI in job interviews reveals similar trends. University graduates and those with vocational education tend to have different views on the matter, with the former being more sceptical. Gender also plays a role, with women generally being more open to new technologies in interviews.
As AI continues to transform various sectors, understanding public opinion on its use is crucial. The survey conducted by SuperJob in Yakutsk offers a snapshot of this opinion in a specific region, providing valuable insights for policymakers, employers, and job seekers alike.
Technology's advancement in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) not only raises questions, but also elicits varied responses, as seen in the case of AI-driven job interviews. The survey conducted by SuperJob in Yakutsk, Russia, reveals that while 43% of the residents are open to partial use of AI for job interviews, 21% are absolutely opposed and another 43% are categorically against it.
