ChatGPT | Workers are turning to AI to write CVs, but is that really an issue?

It seems, based on data published by tech company Kaspersky, that workers are utilising AI tools like ChatGPT when writing CVs and cover letters.

In fact, the research found that a huge 42% of respondents thought OpenAI's popular chatbot could improve or refine their portfolios and help them stand out from the competition.

This is somewhat inevitable, given the high-profile coverage and analysis that AI tools have garnered in recent months. Workers are no strangers to these tools; 58% of workers are using generative AI tools to save time in the office, for example by summarising meetings and long documents.

This will likely cause some unease from HR and recruitment leads. After all, whilst CVs are very slowly dying out, they’re still the primary way that most organisations first hear about and interact with talent.
