It is such a big AI (artificial intelligence) boom in tech industry all over the world. Many companies are trying to catch up with this trend and making new AI-related products such as Amazon Echo, ViDi suite or Google assistant.

On Feb 27th, Talent and Assessment Inc. has announced that they will release AI interviewer product called "AI Interviewer" (may change) for job hunting in Japan.
It is so simple to use AI Interviewer. Job applicants have to download the app from the website link that would be delivered in the email from the company they want to enter.
The best thing about AI Interview is that applicants don't have to go anywhere. They can take the exam at their home using that app.
Talent and Assessment Inc. also preparing for using Pepper robots to use as the virtual interviewer by installing AI interviewer into Pepper for those who cannot use smartphones.

By using AI instead of the human for job hunting, companies can homogenize the recruitment standards.

Talent and Assessment Inc. is expecting to get 20 client companies and 160 thousand users within coming 3 years.

However, netizens are worrying that AI will overdo their job and only the same kind of people would be hired by AI deep learning.
