The use of AI in job applications has created a 'moral dilemma' for UK employers and candidates. While 92% of major employers suspect AI misconduct in interviews, many still accept AI-assisted CVs. This has led to a cycle where candidates mass-apply using AI, overwhelming recruiters who are now forced to adopt AI screening tools themselves, raising concerns about bias and authenticity.
An employment tribunal in Glasgow is hearing claims that 23 former Rockstar Games employees were unlawfully dismissed for union activity rather than gross misconduct. The case centers on a 2023 remote-work petition and a Discord forum, with Rockstar maintaining that firings resulted from the sharing of confidential information.

The case, which involves over 100 pages of filings, highlights a deep disagreement over the security of the server and the nature of the information shared.
