Your next job interview could be conducted by an AI robot

 

More and more businesses are handing recruitment tasks to AI tools

 

A growing number of employers are turning to AI to interview job candidates, according to a Guardian report. It cited the case of a job seeker who recently landed an introductory phone interview with a company. She assumed the encounter would involve a chat with a recruiter, but it turned out to be a "creepy" AI system — one that repeatedly interrupted her answers with the response, "Great, sounds good, perfect!"

The report also highlighted how the applicants are starting to use AI tools to tailor their résumés, write cover letters, and even auto-apply for jobs.

A 2023 survey suggested that by this year, 4 in 10 companies would begin using AI to talk with candidates in interviews, with 15% of these firms claiming that hiring decisions would be made with no human input at all ...

SMART RINGS

 

It just got a lot easier to buy the Oura Ring

 

The smart ring tracks your sleep, heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), blood oxygen, and other metrics

 

In a world with more smart ring choices than ever, the Oura Ring still stands tall as the best of the best. If you’ve been thinking about jumping on the Oura bandwagon, good news! It just got a whole lot easier to buy one.

As of Thursday, March 7, the Oura Ring is now available on Amazon. Previously, you could only buy the Oura Ring through Oura’s website or at Best Buy. It’s never been challenging to buy the smart ring, but its new availability on Amazon makes it that much easier.

Both styles — the Heritage and Horizon designs — and all of the color options are available, as well as fits ranging from a size 6 to a size 13 ...

OPINION by Mark Jansen

 

If the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra is real, it needs these 7 features

 

If Samsung is able to make its next Galaxy Fold smartphone even better, I have some ideas

 

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is stupendously powerful and expensive — and I should know because I just bought one.

It seems beyond the realm of possibility that Samsung would try to push out an even more expensive version of its already expensive phone, but the Korean company continues to surprise. Rumors abound that Samsung will announce not just the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 in the summer but an Ultra model as well.

If the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra is real, then it needs to pack in some seriously impressive tweaks and additions to make an undoubtedly higher price worthwhile, including a less visible crease and a slot for the S pen ...

COMING UP

 

How to watch the Oscars on Sunday night

 

Oppenheimer seems poised to sweep the board, but American Fiction, The Holdovers, and Killers of the Flower Moon could pull a few surprises

 

The good and the great of the movie industry will descend upon the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard on Sunday night for the 96th Academy Awards.

For those watching from home, the ceremony starts at 4 p.m. PT (7 p.m. ET/11 p.m. GMT), though switch on earlier if you want to see the stars on the red carpet.

In the U.S., the show is available for free over the air on your local ABC station or via cable and satellite. Alternatively, you can live stream the event via services such as Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV, and FuboTV. If you don’t have a subscription and don’t want to fork out for one, just sign up for a free trial.

Viewers outside the U.S. also have plenty of ways to tune in and enjoy the show. Right, where’s the popcorn?
