AI Protocol:
We understand that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a part of everyday life. We don’t ignore that reality; but we’re hiring you, not your AI assistant. You may use AI for basic proofreading (grammar, spelling, or clarity), as long as the core content and ideas are your own. If you use AI, be transparent. It will not count against you. It shows thoughtfulness and integrity.
Please do not use AI to generate your responses, either for written submissions or live interview questions. We want to understand your judgement, voice, and problem-solving style. If the main substance of a written submission was created by AI and not you, that’s a no-go. During live interviews, AI tools should not be used to produce or display answers.
