They've been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of carbon dioxide and how it can affect crop health.

AI interview bots spark backlash from frustrated job applicants

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-08-28 17:22:00

The big picture: As more employers turn to AI to manage overburdened recruiting pipelines, the debate about its merits – and drawbacks – continues. Some job-seekers opt out of opportunities altogether when robots come calling. Others, resigned to the new normal, accept these digital gatekeepers to find work. Both sides, for now, seem likely to remain divided as the hiring process rapidly evolves. As employers increasingly automate their recruitment processes, job interviews themselves are under

The next time you get buttoned-up and sit down for a long-awaited job interview, you might not find a human on the other end of the call. Instead, job-hunters are now joining Zoom meetings only to be greeted by AI interviewers. Candidates tell Fortune they’re either confused, intrigued, or straight-up dejected when the robotic, faceless bots join the calls. “Looking for a job right now is so demoralizing and soul-sucking, that to submit yourself to that added indignity is just a step too far,”

Venture firm CRV raises $750M, downsizing after returning capital to investors

CRV has secured $750 million toward the 55-year-old venture firm’s twentieth flagship fund, it announced on Friday.
