‘Daily Mail’ Predicts AI Will Run 90% of All UK Job Interviews by 2030, Experts Warn of ‘Bias in a Box’
LONDON — In a stunning forecast that’s already trending on the Daily Mail’s front page, futurists predict that within the next decade, nearly all entry-level job interviews in the UK will be conducted not by humans, but by AI chatbots. According to a leaked report from the Institute for Future Employment, the shift will hit hardest by 2028, with 90% of interview processes automated to save time and cut costs. But critics are sounding the alarm, calling it ‘bias in a box’—algorithms that could secretly discriminate based on accent, postcode, or even typing speed. The Daily Mail’s exclusive analysis found that early adopters of AI hiring tools have already cut interview times by 50%, but complaints of unfair rejections have skyrocketed. By 2035, experts say, the technology could also replace face-to-face performance reviews, sparking a rebellion from workers who fear being judged by an unfeeling machine. ‘This isn’t efficiency; it’s a robot takeover of our humanity,’ warns Dr. Eliza Thorne, a tech ethicist. As the Daily Mail puts it, the future of your next job interview just got a lot colder.
