Like psychotherapy, Bloomberg reveals Anthropic's cultural interview details

Comparative news, according to monitoring, Bloomberg reports that generative artificial intelligence giant Anthropic is implementing an extremely controversial and extremely difficult interview process, strictly prohibiting job seekers from using artificial intelligence tools to cheat, and introducing cultural interviews known as psychological diagnosis and treatment. With the rapid expansion of the workforce in nearly half a year, CEO Dario Amodei revealed that he would spend nearly 1/3 to 40% of his time building culture. This cultural interview evaluation has a single veto power. The core purpose is to select job applicants who are highly suited to safety missions and have the ability to think independently. Candidates are required to pass up to 5 rounds of rigorous screening, including signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). In interviews, it is strictly prohibited to use large language models to assist, unless explicitly authorized. In cultural interviews where the elimination rate is extremely high, the interviewer will use the continuous pressure method of quick question and answer to obtain evaluation signals, or even directly interrupt the response when there is no more incremental information. Some candidates revealed that the interviewers did not have any facial expressions or feedback when asking questions, putting tremendous psychological pressure on job seekers. The core level of the interview is to assess the candidate's values and perception of the cutting edge of the destructive threat of artificial intelligence. The interviewer will throw out classic professional ethics dilemmas and interrogate the candidate's emotional feelings at the moment of conflict, coping measures, and afterthoughts, with the aim of evaluating the real moral struggles of the job seeker. Additionally, candidates also need to answer what unusual beliefs they have held to and how to defend their beliefs in difficult times. President Daniela Amodei pointed out that the assessment does not pursue specific beliefs, but rather assesses whether candidates can rationally debate and focuses on finding job seekers who have health doubts about the company.
