Micro1, the Palo Alto startup that created Zara, is focused on turning AI toward job recruitment. While similar tools have been used in the past, few have been as lifelike as Zara, with her shoulder-length blonde balayage, trusting glimmer in her eyes, and dimples on either side of a pearly-white smile. As a plus, she works untiringly, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and speaks 10 languages.
If you’re feeling the uncanny valley vibes, the Micro1 team validates your concerns.
