Description:
Developers applying at Meta could soon be allowed to use AI tools  because 
that's how developers are working now.

FULL STORY
======================================================================Meta is 
internally testing AI-assisted interviews for developers It's a closer 
reflection of real-world developer environments Much of Meta's code will soon 
be AI-written 

Meta is reportedly testing AI-enabled coding interviews in which it will 
allow candidates to use AI tools . 

For the time being, it looks like the company could be recruiting internal 
employees as volunteers for mock interviews to help it develop the shape and 
format of them, with the initiative revealed via internal communications and 
verified by 404 Media . 

The reality is AI assistants and agents now form part of most workers' 
workflows  especially developers  so permitting them within the interview 
stage more closely reflects the real worker environment. Meta could allow 
interviewees to use AI tools 

"Meta is developing a new type of coding interview in which candidates have 
access to an AI assistant," the post reads. 

"This is more representative of the developer environment that our future 
employees will work in, and also makes LLM-based cheating less effective." 

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg already believes AI could eventually write most of 
Meta's app and AI code, ultimately ending up as mid-level engineers as soon 
as this year and freeing up humans to focus on more creative tasks. It's a 
similar story with Microsoft and Google  two companies that claim around 
one-third of new code is AI-generated. 

However, Meta's approach to AI-assisted interviews marks a different 
direction to other companies in the space. Anthropic currently bans AI use 
during interviews, presumably seeking genuine worker talent that can be 
further enhanced by AI. 

The benefit of AI-generated code is that it can be produced far more quickly 
than human-generated code, however its accuracy relies heavily on the quality 
of the prompts and thorough reviewing is crucial. 

"We're obviously focused on using AI to help engineers with their day-to-day 
work, so it should be no surprise that we're testing how to provide these 
tools to applicants during interviews," a Meta spokesperson added. You might
