When the Interviewer Isn't Real

Companies are deploying AI avatars as job interviewers, and in most cases candidates aren't told. This episode digs into the disclosure toggle that ships off by default, the legal gap where candidates can be prosecuted for deepfaking interviews while employers face no recognized penalty for undisclosed AI interviewers, and why the EEOC's AI hiring enforcement targets discrimination rather than deception. It also traces the trajectory from crude scripted avatars with obvious tells to real-time puppeteered video-to-video, and asks what's left of consent when the interviewer was never a person.
