Google's Own AI Safety Team "Distrusts" Internal AI Hiring System, Privately Guides Job Seekers to Bypass Automated Screening

TechFlow reports, August 11, according to Bloomberg, Google DeepMind's AGI Safety and Alignment Team (AGI Safety and Alignment Team) was recently revealed to be privately providing a special application form to job seekers, requiring candidates to fill it out in addition to formally submitting their resumes to bypass the risk of automatic screening by the company's internal AI recruitment system. Documents obtained by Bloomberg show that the document includes a disclaimer stating "Do not distribute widely".

This is quite ironic—Google is heavily promoting its AI recruitment screening tools to enterprise customers, claiming they can efficiently handle massive volumes of job applications, yet the team within the company most focused on researching AI risks and alignment issues holds significant reservations about the reliability of its own system and is taking practical actions to bypass it.
