The U.S. government starts rolling out the use of artificial intelligence in the interview process for some job applicants in the coming days, according to U.S. officials cited by multiple outlets. The change affects only certain hires rather than all federal recruitment.
The guidance comes from the Office of Personnel Management, which is the government’s human resources authority. According to reporting, the office issued direction to federal agencies in the past week encouraging the use of AI in hiring, while emphasizing that human oversight remains required. Several sources also note that officials are focusing attention on safeguards and oversight particularly for roles considered important or sensitive.
While outlets agree on the overall move toward AI-assisted interviews and the timeline, they differ in emphasis. CBS highlights that the rollout is beginning for some hires, while the other source provides more context on the OPM guidance and the scope of the federal workforce, along with the stated need for human review.
