Guidance on AI Usage

Hiring with Human Centric, Responsible Use of AI
​​​​​​​Technology creates new opportunities, but people remain at the heart of every hiring story. As AI becomes more common, it can thoughtfully support your job search when used responsibly. At Disney, we have a long history of bringing imagination and technology together to fuel creativity. We are committed to a human‑centric approach to AI, one that values human creativity and ingenuity, respects intellectual property, and promotes responsible use.

How You Can Use AI to Support Your Story

AI has become a natural part of how people explore new roles, and we want to help you use it in a way that supports you while keeping your story authentically yours. You’re welcome to use AI as you prepare to apply or interview, such as:

Research

Learn about our Company, roles, values, and the work we do

Enhance Resume & Cover Letters

Help refine your structure, grammar and tone

Interview Prep

Practice common questions and get feedback

When AI Tools Should Not Be Used

While AI can be a helpful tool as you prepare, there are moments in our hiring process where your own thinking, voice, and skills need to shine through. During assessments and interviews, we want to understand you, your ideas, your approach, and your strengths, and therefore AI tools should not be used for the following.
  • Using AI note taking assistants, and all forms of recording or transcribing any conversations during the recruitment experience
  • Creating false or misleading experiences, skills, or qualifications on your résumé, cover letter, or application
  • Completing assessments (such as coding exercises, job assessments, writing samples, or language tasks) unless instructed otherwise.
  • If AI use is allowed during the assessment, we will clearly communicate that expectation
  • Generating interview answers in real time or using tools that respond on your behalf
  • Using deepfake, appearance‑altering filters, or voice-cloning tools during interviews
*To the extent we consider that you used Al for any of the purposes referenced above, this may, alongside other relevant factors, impact your candidacy and advancement in the recalement process.

Our Commitment to a Responsible and Human-Centric approach to using AI
AI can assist along the way, but people, not algorithms, make every advancement and hiring decision. Our tools are thoughtfully designed and monitored to help prevent bias and support fairness, consistency, and compliance wherever we hire. As AI technologies and the laws and regulations governing them around the world continue to develop, so too will our approach to their responsible use.
