The new British ambassador to the US replacing Lord Mandelson should not use artificial intelligence in their job application, the embassy advertisement has warned.
AI-generated applications for the role will be considered “plagiarism”, according to the advert for the £155,000-£174,000 role.
The advert links to a page guiding Civil Service applications on the use of AI. It warns that “authenticity and honesty” are vital in deciding who gets a role, and says AI should not be used during live assessments.
The job advertisement reads: “Please ensure your application is factually accurate. Presenting the ideas or experiences of others or that generated by artificial intelligence as your own will be considered plagiarism.”
Nearly one third of jobseekers are using AI to find open roles, according to research by AI-powered hiring platform Greenhouse, with 31 per cent of younger workers applying automatically using bots.
The ambassadorial job advert, which asks candidates for a CV and covering statement, says candidates “need to have excellent networking skills and strong personal impact”.
They should also have “well-developed political judgment and personal resilience”, the advert reads.
Lord Mandelson was fired as Britain’s representative in Washington over leaked emails that showed he had sent messages of support to Jeffrey Epstein as he faced jail for sex offences.
The Labour peer consoled and counselled the late paedophile financier and encouraged him to fight for early release.
“Your friends stay with you and love you,” Lord Mandelson told Epstein after his arrest in Florida.
