## Anthropic: Fighting AI-Cheating in Interviews Since 2024, Anthropic's performance optimization team has given job seekers a take-home test. The purpose is to verify their technical skills. ## The Evolution of Tests As AI coding tools have improved, Anthropic has had to change the test multiple times. The goal is to stay ahead of AI-assisted cheating. Technical assessment tests are a common tool in the tech industry. They are used by companies to objectively evaluate the skills of candidates, especially in roles that require specific programming and problem-solving skills. However, the advent of large language models (LLMs) capable of generating code has complicated the process, making it necessary to continuously update assessment methods.
