Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly Introduces 'AI Competency Test' in Civil Service Recruitment Exams

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi Provincial Council is introducing an 'AI competency test' for civil service recruitment exams.

The AI competency test allows applicants to connect online or via mobile and respond to questions through video, where AI analyzes individual characteristics and competencies based on the response videos and content. This method is already being used by many companies.

The Provincial Council announced on the 25th that it plans to introduce an AI technology-based competency test in the civil service recruitment exam.

The Council will implement the AI competency test starting from the '2022 4th Term Contract Civil Servant (7 positions including Policy Support Team Leader) Recruitment Exam' scheduled for next month. Before the interview exam on the 29th of next month, the AI competency test will be conducted for candidates who passed the document screening, and the results will be provided to the interview panel.

Following the full revision of the Local Autonomy Act, the Council will also apply the AI competency test to the Policy Support Officer recruitment exam, which allows hiring within 50% (78 members) of the total number of council members, and use the results as a reference for the interview.

This year, 39 Policy Support Officers will be recruited, and another 39 will be recruited next year.

A Council official stated, "The introduction of the AI competency test is the first among local governments and local councils nationwide," adding, "We expect it to supplement the brief interview exams in a more in-depth and substantial way."
