Sanjoe

Hey everyone welcome to the Talview Podcast. I’m Sanjoe, CEO and co-founder of Talview.

At Talview, our mission has always been clear: To make hiring and learning more fair, secure, and accessible through the power of AI. And right now, the world is waking up to exactly why that mission matters.

Sanjoe

Because last month, the White House released its National AI Action Plan a sweeping federal strategy that’s going to reshape how governments, universities, and businesses use AI for hiring, testing, and workforce development. This plan isn’t a memo to tech companies.It’s a new rulebook for every institution that touches talent.And in this episode, we’ll break down: What the Action Plan actually says How it impacts hiring, exams, and certificationsWhy Talview is already ahead of the curveAnd what universities, HR teams, and training orgs need to do starting now Let’s get into it.

Sanjoe

So what exactly is this plan? The White House AI Action Plan lays out a comprehensive strategy with three big goals: Empower American Workers with AI-ready skills Accelerate government adoption of responsible AI Establish national standards for fairness, bias prevention, and data security And it’s backed by real money federal investments, tax incentives, and mandates that will directly impact how organizations assess, train, and hire people using AI. This is the government saying: “We’re going all in on AI but only if it’s trustworthy.”

Sanjoe

Now, let’s talk about the real-world impact. If you’re a university using AI for proctored exams, or an enterprise using AI interviews to hire talent you now face much higher expectations: You’ll need to prove your AI tools are fair and free from bias You’ll need secure systems for identity verification and proctoring And you’ll be expected to support data transparency and federal research into how AI is reshaping the workforce This isn’t optional it’s policy. And it’s going to catch a lot of institutions off guard.

Sanjoe

At Talview, we didn’t wait for regulation to do the right thing. We built our platform from the ground up to align with the very priorities this Action Plan is now enforcing. AI Interview Agents like Alvy and Ivy ensure structured, objective evaluations Advanced proctoring and biometric ID verification protect integrity at scale Bias mitigation frameworks built into every stage of the hiring and testing process A global footprint with 10 million+ assessments across 120 countries, We have already supported governments, universities, and Fortune 500s with the scale, compliance, and integrity this moment demands.

Sanjoe

Let’s be honest this isn’t just a compliance story. This is a growth opportunity for forward-thinking institutions. Here’s what we see: Workforce Retraining at Scale: The government is funding skills-based hiring and retraining programs. Talview can power assessment platforms and AI literacy certifications to meet that demand. Federal and State Contracts: Agencies are now required to adopt bias-free AI and appoint Chief AI Officers. Our proven tools and security make Talview a natural partner for public sector adoption. Fairness and Research Collaboration: The plan mandates transparent, auditable AI systems. Talview can become a trusted data partner for policy makers and workforce researchers.

Sanjoe

So if you’re listening and you lead hiring, certification, or training at your institution, here’s what you should be thinking: Is your AI assessment platform ready for bias audits? Can it verify identities securely and remotely? Does it give you the data confidence you’ll need when regulators and applicants ask tough questions? With Talview, the answer is yes. We’re not just a product we’re a partner in AI infrastructure for the future of work.

Sanjoe

The White House just raised the bar for how AI is used in hiring and learning. This is no longer about tech innovation it’s about earning trust at scale. And trust isn’t built overnight. It’s built through transparency, security, and a deep commitment to fairness. At Talview, we’ve been doing exactly that for over a decade.
