  1. Examiner

    Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [DEMO STUDENT]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?

  2. Caller

    Uh, my name is [DEMO STUDENT] and NET ID is [DEMO NETID].

  3. Examiner

  16. Caller

    I'm trying.

  17. Examiner

    Take your time, no rush.

  18. Caller

    Give me a clue.

  19. Examiner

    I'll give you a nudge. Think about the scale of the problem — how many candidates does a recruiter typically have to sift through, and what does AI allow them to do that a human can't?
