Will the recruitment process soon become a race between two AI systems?

Imagine you are conducting an online job interview with a candidate. Can you then assume that the candidate sitting opposite you really is who they claim to be – and that they are also coming up with their own answers? This is increasingly not the case. The A.I. candidate is advancing at lightning speed. In recent months, at least, more and more stories have emerged of recruiters encountering candidates who managed to present themselves very differently using deepfake AI. Such as the case shared by Dawid Moczadło:

More than 1 in 6 recruiters already say they have now encountered candidates using deepfake technology to alter their video interviews, according to a recent study by career platform Resume Genius. Another executive, who decided to investigate the issue within his own company, discovered that around 100 of the 827 applications for a software developer role were linked to a false identity.
