AI in interviews

high confidence

AI is fine for preparation, practice and polishing your application (say so if it significantly shaped submitted work). Live interviews and assigned assessments must be your own: no real-time AI answers, hidden tools, avatars or proxies, and Twilio monitors for this and may disqualify you.
