Reporting back! Also loved the first one and the first one is definitely my favorite. But it was still fun for me to revisit the characters and hear a bit more of the backstory.

The U.S. Constitution’s Confrontation Clause ensures the criminally accused a right “to be confronted with the witnesses against” them - but what about when the evidence has been generated by #AI?

A.I. interviewers started taking off last year, according to job hunters, tech companies and recruiters. These faceless voices and avatars have been met with mixed reviews. nyti.ms/4eEO6Xd

Text reads: "'It isn't something that feels real to me.' Jennifer Dunn answered a robot interviewer's questions about her qualifications, but the A.I. could not answer most of her questions about the job. It felt hollow, she said, and she hung up before the interview was over." A photo shows Jennifer Dunn at her desk. Photo by Ariana Gomez for The New York Times
