A business consultant is raising alarms about AI-conducted job interviews after he says a tech company’s evaluation of him drew some concerning conclusions, including criticizing his "habitual" use of Google's Chrome internet browser.

As some companies outsource job interviews to artificial intelligence, rejected candidates can be left wondering what went wrong.

After not hearing back about a job he applied for in Madrid with marketing company Anteriad, Daniel Alvarez, who is based in Spain, decided to find out exactly how the AI judged him.

He obtained a copy of the AI-generated evaluation from Anteriad under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation. The company had used a third-party firm called ChattyHiring to conduct the screening interview.

Alvarez, who is not Canadian but lived in Toronto for much of last year, shared the full evaluation and transcript with CBC News. He said he was not impressed by what he found, and doesn't feel companies should use AI interviews in the hiring process.

“It's not a human-to-human interaction when you have, for example, language repair.... I can say something, and depending on your face, I can immediately rephrase it," he said.

"That’s gone in this kind of interaction."

Twin boys aged one and a two-year-old girl were killed in the attack late Tuesday night on the family's house in the city of Bogodukhiv, around 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the border with Russia.

It triggered an outpouring of anger and grief.

"This is deliberate terror against civilians, against families, against children. Russia is consciously killing our future," said Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.

...

"As a result of the strike, the house was completely destroyed and caught fire, and the family was trapped under the rubble," prosecutors said. ...

The children's mother, who is eight months pregnant, survived, but sustained "a traumatic brain injury, acoustic barotrauma, and thermal burns", prosecutors said.

...

Their grandmother was also wounded in the attack and had been hospitalised, Bogodukhiv mayor Volodymyr Biely said in a statement.

Many residents have relied on camping and kerosene stoves to heat bricks and water bottles. Some have resorted to dangerous coping mechanisms, such as setting up camping tents inside their bedrooms and lighting candles within them to fight the cold.

Svitlana, a pensioner from Kyiv, said that during blackouts: “I warm some water in a cup on a kerosene stove, fill up two bottles, one [goes] under my feet, the other in my hands, so as not to freeze. And we all sleep dressed… Dressed under duvets, all that we have, we put on.”

There are many people, including older persons and people with disabilities, who are isolated and confined to their apartments, without any means of communication, whose circumstances are likely much worse than those documented in this research and who may not live through this winter to tell their story ... Its strategy and tactics, including continued use of indiscriminate weapons and deliberate targeting of civilians, have caused widespread human suffering and seriously impacted Ukraine’s most vulnerable people, including children and older people.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Europol said the operation targeted criminal networks distributing fake currency through postal services, with 90% of the seizures linked to consignments sent from China to Europe.

According to Europol, Romanian authorities intercepted more than 4.8 million euro banknotes with altered designs and dismantled a warehouse containing over 223,000 counterfeit notes shipped from China. In addition, three separate seizures in Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States uncovered more than 220,000 counterfeit coins in euros, pounds sterling and US dollars.

Europol added that between June and November 2025, law enforcement and customs authorities seized 379 parcels containing counterfeit currency.

The seizures led to the launch of a further 70 investigations into criminal networks. In total, more than seven million counterfeit items were identified, including 4.8 million euro banknotes and coins, 2.3 million US dollar notes, 23,302 pounds sterling and 4,800 Swiss francs.

Besides Portugal, the operation involved authorities from Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

No stupid answers either, I just want your honest thoughts.

I assume the trickle truth'ing around Epstein files* and Trumps behavior is supposed to distract from the growth of surveillance, the mass production of modern war devices (drones etc), and the problematic growing addictions to phones, as well as (not so) slowly developing idiocracy due to that.

And therefor also distracting us from taking control of the things we can still change.

Please be kind, these are just my thoughts. I'm interested in yours as well.

*saying that because there isn't much new information, we already know there had been rape and sex trafficking and some more cruelty. so it's just bread crumbs thrown at us to look at it again even though we know whats going on
