• $61.5 billion tech giant Anthropic barred job applicants from using AI tools in the hiring process in May. Just months later, it has changed its mind on the policy—but unemployed Gen Zers (or any other generation for that matter) should watch out for various other guidelines still in place.

Hiring has become an all-out AI war with managers juggling thousands of fake applications from North Korea, meanwhile, job-seekers are grappling with automated interviewers. AI giant Anthropic even got ahead of the curve by (ironically) barring candidates from using chatbots and assistants to prepare for their interview in May—but it’s just backtracked on the ban.
