Very simple.

Silence.

At that point, we were like, we need to do something.

Yeah, we still have it.

Medical board exams, bar exams, you know.

PhD defenses are all oral exams.

This is the gold standard.

It's not even that it should too much work.

The logistics of trying to schedule, you know, 50 different half an hour slots that are mutually convenient, just becomes very, very hard.

Yeah, we had a seminar and Brian Zabarian, who will be a new professor at CMU Heinz next year, he talked to us about AI interviews and how companies are hiring people using AI.

interviews, which I thought it was mind-boggling.

And not only they are doing that, but he realized that AI is actually better in running these interviews than the humans.

Humans get tired.

Humans get frustrated.

Humans have biases.

So AI tends to be a very, very good administrator of knowing, okay, I need to ask these questions.

I need to go through this material and they don't get distracted.

They get back on topic and so on.

So if it worked for 70,000 job interviews, I thought that they would work for 35 oral exams in my classroom.

Actually, we had been studying AI grading for quite a while.
