Automated Video Interviews

Technology is becoming a core part of many psychological testing and assessment practices in various contexts (education, workplace, clinical, forensic), innovating ways in which data are collected, analyzed, and interpreted. While such innovations offer exciting possibilities for psychological research and practices, they also pose several new challenges associated with validity, reliability, and fairness/bias as well as with ethical and practical concerns.

1. What types of information can be gathered from video interviews that might be useful for psychological measurement?
2. Automated video interviews have been heavily criticized for potential issues of bias and fairness. Can you share your thoughts about this?
