AI Is Changing How Businesses Recruit for Open Roles — and How Candidates Are Gaming the System
AI is gaining a foothold in recruiting, with Jobscan research finding that 99% of Fortune 500 companies use the technology to automatically filter out applicants, and a Resume Builder survey projecting that 40% of companies will use AI to "talk" to candidates this year.
… On video calls with AI, applicants can use AI teleprompters such as Final Round AI, which listens to questions and generates answers during an interview in real-time based on a resume and cover letter.
If my AI called and asked enough questions, could it build a large language model sufficient to become an advice giving “lawyer substitute?”

ABA Free Legal Answers
“The American Bar Association web program ABA Free Legal Answers, which gives income-eligible users the ability to pose civil legal questions to volunteer attorneys, has released a nationwide list of lawyers, law firms, corporate law departments, law schools and other legal organizations who in 2023 handled the most online questions. Launched in 2016, the program operates in 43 jurisdictions, including a federal portal that addresses veterans benefits and immigration questions. More than 13,500 attorneys nationally have registered to volunteer on ABA Free Legal Answers (FLA), which operates virtually. Of those, 148 attorneys in 2023 — an increase from 2022 — handled at least 50 civil legal questions each and are recognized as 2023 ABA Free Legal Answers Pro Bono Leaders. In addition, 36 law firms, corporate law departments and other legal organizations were recognized for answering at least 75 questions in 2023. The nationwide program has emerged as a no-cost way for eligible participants to obtain basic civil legal guidance, as pro bono lawyers have fielded more than 40,000 inquiries annually since 2019. Through last year, Free Legal Answers handled 330,221 total questions since its inception. The summary report for 2023 is here. “ABA Free Legal Answers has become a vital link to civil legal aid for those in need,” ABA President Mary Smith said. “The program exemplifies a commitment to access to justice, with over 330,000 questions responded to and thousands of attorneys offering their expertise on a volunteer basis since its inception in 2016. The platform stands as a testament to the impact of pro bono work in addressing the legal needs of low-income communities.” Geared to expand legal services for low-income communities, the service requires users to meet income eligibility guidelines applicable to each state or U.S. territory. While expanding access to legal services, ABA Free Legal Answers also expands pro bono opportunities for attorneys in a convenient way to match their schedules.’
…Free Legal Answers is an accessible way for our attorneys to be a resource to those in need at any time of the day,” said Margaret Richards, director of Pro Bono Services at Husch Blackwell LLP, whose attorneys handled 821 questions in 2023 on the California, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin sites. In addition to providing volunteer attorney time, Husch Blackwell is also an FLA funder, as the program relies on private contributions to keep this free service available for those needing legal assistance. Nationally, attorneys can volunteer their services by navigating to ABA Free Legal Answers and selecting “Attorney Registration.”
I would never suggest that the car’s driving log was a target for hackers, but if it could “prove” that I am a safe driver, deserving of the lowest insurance rates, it is clearly valuable.
Automakers Are Sharing Consumers’ Driving Behavior With Insurance Companies
The New York Times – unpaywalled: “Kenn Dahl says he has always been a careful driver. The owner of a software company near Seattle, he drives a leased Chevrolet Bolt. He’s never been responsible for an accident. So Mr. Dahl, 65, was surprised in 2022 when the cost of his car insurance jumped by 21 percent. Quotes from other insurance companies were also high. One insurance agent told him his LexisNexis report was a factor. LexisNexis is a New York-based global data broker with a “Risk Solutions” division that caters to the auto insurance industry and has traditionally kept tabs on car accidents and tickets. Upon Mr. Dahl’s request, LexisNexis sent him a 258-page “consumer disclosure report,” which it must provide per the Fair Credit Reporting Act. What it contained stunned him: more than 130 pages detailing each time he or his wife had driven the Bolt over the previous six months. It included the dates of 640 trips, their start and end times, the distance driven and an accounting of any speeding, hard braking or sharp accelerations. The only thing it didn’t have is where they had driven the car. On a Thursday morning in June for example, the car had been driven 7.33 miles in 18 minutes; there had been two rapid accelerations and two incidents of hard braking. According to the report, the trip details had been provided by General Motors — the manufacturer of the Chevy Bolt. LexisNexis analyzed that driving data to create a risk score “for insurers to use as one factor of many to create more personalized insurance coverage,” according to a LexisNexis spokesman, Dean Carney. Eight insurance companies had requested information about Mr. Dahl from LexisNexis over the previous month. “It felt like a betrayal,” Mr. Dahl said. “They’re taking information that I didn’t realize was going to be shared and screwing with our insurance.”
Let’s hope we don’t look back in a few years and wish we had taken this report seriously…

An Action Plan to increase the safety and security of advanced AI
“In October 2022, a month before ChatGPT was released, the U.S. State Department commissioned the first-ever assessment of proliferation and security risk from weaponized and misaligned AI. In February 2024, Gladstone completed that assessment. It includes an analysis of catastrophic AI risks, and a first-of-its-kind, government-wide Action Plan for what we can do about them…”
