Police stopped a man who was trying to enter Capitol Hill with a flashlight and a flare gun. Capitol Hill Police said the man was stopped Tuesday during a security check at the Capitol Visitor Center. According to authorities, the man smelled of fuel and was carrying a flashlight and a flare gun.
Officials canceled public visits to Capitol Hill for the rest of the day. Police say they are still investigating. The arrest comes as authorities are on high alert over security concerns in the capital and have increased patrols in downtown areas and near the White House as Election Day approaches. Almost 4 years ago, a mob of Donald Trump supporters attacked the United States Capitol: it was January 6, 2021.

**Interview with Dr. Emily Chen, AI Ethics Expert**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Chen. There has been significant discussion recently about the role of AI in technical interviews. What are your thoughts on allowing candidates to use AI tools during these interviews?
**Dr. Chen:** Thank you for having me! I believe that allowing candidates to use AI during technical interviews can level the playing field, especially for those who may not have had access to extensive educational resources. AI tools can also help candidates demonstrate their problem-solving process more transparently.
**Interviewer:** That’s an interesting perspective. However, some worry that it could undermine the assessment of a candidate’s true capabilities. How do you address these concerns?
**Dr. Chen:** It’s a valid concern. The key is to structure the interview in a way that emphasizes understanding and application rather than rote memorization. If interviewers focus on how candidates interact with the AI, their reasoning skills, and their ability to articulate their thought process, it can lead to a more accurate assessment of their skills.
**Interviewer:** So, you advocate for a shift in the interview format?
**Dr. Chen:** Absolutely. Traditional interviews often rely on straightforward problem-solving tasks that can be easily outsourced to AI. By creating scenario-based questions or real-world problems, we can see how candidates leverage AI tools to support their analysis and decision-making, rather than simply relying on the tool itself.
**Interviewer:** What do you think about the potential for bias in using AI tools during interviews?
**Dr. Chen:** That’s another critical point. AI systems can carry their own biases, so it’s essential that organizations ensure the tools they allow are equitable. Moreover, interviewers must be trained to recognize the limitations of AI, ensuring it supplements the interview rather than dominates it.
**Interviewer:** Lastly, what would you advise companies who are considering this approach for their technical interviews?
**Dr. Chen:** I would encourage companies to pilot this approach with clear guidelines. They should gather feedback from candidates and interviewers alike to continually improve the process. This could help create a more inclusive and effective assessment environment, fostering a culture of innovation even in the hiring process.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights, Dr. Chen. It seems that the future of technical interviews may very well be intertwined with AI in a constructive way.
**Dr. Chen:** Thank you! It’s a fascinating time to be in this field, and I’m eager to see how these discussions evolve.
