🧠 Meta allows AI use in interviews
Meta is allowing some programming candidates to use artificial intelligence (AI) during interviews — according to an internal publication, the company is testing a new format where candidates have access to an AI assistant for solving tasks.
This approach aims to better reflect the real development environment, where engineers are already actively using AI tools, while also reducing the cheating effect with LLMs. Meta is involving employees in trial “mock AI-enabled interviews” to gather feedback and refine the format.
This contrasts with the policies of other companies, such as Amazon and Anthropic, which still prohibit the use of AI in interviews.
Mark Zuckerberg previously noted that by 2025, Meta will create an AI capable of working at the level of a mid-level engineer, able to write code independently and develop the Llama family. For Meta, this is a logical step — they are betting on skills in managing AI agents, rather than just classical coding.
Industry significance: this approach could become the new standard — skills in prompting and collaborating with AI are proving to be more important than pure coding speed.
