During interviews, Japanese studios ask applicant artists to draw to counter AI
, by Thibaut
Since artificial intelligence is everywhere, some studios have decided to change their recruitment methods. In an article published on the Japanese website Daily Shinko, an anonymous chief graphic designer working for a Japanese developer explained all this in detail.
He explains that his superiors now ask artists who apply for jobs to draw something during the interview. This is to ensure that their creations are not the work of a generative AI tool.
"Many people claim that AI-generated artwork is their own creation. We ended up hiring such people, only to find that they were not productive, which led to several problems.
That's why we changed our recruitment process: candidates must now draw something in person during the interview to verify their skills. As a recruiter, it's extremely restrictive and I feel like I'm taking a step backwards, but I've heard that several other companies are doing the same thing.
However, this method may not be in place for long. The managers of several studios are beginning to question whether it is still necessary to hire artists, given that generative AI is proving to be so effective.
