AI company Anthropic has announced a strict ban on applicants using AI tools for job applications, including resumes and cover letters. The AI company’s anti-AI stance flips expectations, bewildering hopeful techies and leaving AI itself out of the hiring process.

Anthropic’s bold move to forbid AI in job applications means human ingenuity must shine solo, setting AI company Anthropic apart in Silicon Valley. By keeping the AI company’s hiring process strictly human, Anthropic insists only authentic applicant voices reach their team.
