Title: Meta Embraces AI in Tech Interviews—Amazon Bans It, Sparking Debate Over Skills
Description: Meta now officially allows candidates to use AI in coding interviews, arguing it mirrors real engineering workflows and levels the playing field. Amazon, meanwhile, considers it cheating and disqualifies applicants for using AI tools. This split highlights a major shift: Should hiring test how you use AI or what you can do without it? The evolving landscape could impact job seekers and recruiters everywhere.
