Abstract
The shift from human to AI assessment raises an important question: do people behave differently when being assessed by AI? If so, this might have significant consequences for both people under assessment and the organizations conducting the assessment. Focusing on candidate selection decisions as a key assessment domain, the current research shows that AI assessment leads people to present themselves as more analytical because they believe that AI particularly values analytical characteristics. This behavioral shift could fundamentally alter who gets selected for positions, potentially undermining the validity of assessment processes. Overall, this work reveals how people change their behavior under AI assessment, offering insights for organizations and policymakers navigating the integration of AI in high-stakes decisions.
