When AI can pass your technical test

AI tools have reached a point where they no longer merely support technical work, they can now also pass the tests companies use to assess technical competence. This became clear in January, when AI company Anthropic revealed that they have repeatedly had to redesign their technical take-home test because candidates were able to solve the tasks using Claude at a level that matched or exceeded top human candidates.

The story is not only interesting for AI developers. It points to a more fundamental challenge: many of the methods companies use to evaluate technical skill are rapidly losing their signal value in an AI-driven working life.

From skill tests to output tests

Anthropic’s original take-home assignment was designed to test deep technical understanding through optimization of complex code. With the latest versions of Claude, however, the test became trivial for the AI. As a result, the interview effectively measured how efficiently a candidate could use AI, not the candidate’s own understanding, judgment, or ability to make technical decisions.

This raises a central question for many organizations: if AI can deliver correct and efficient output, what is it that we are actually trying to evaluate in humans?

Implications for businesses

For IT leaders and decision-makers, this development means that traditional technical tests and take-home assignments can no longer stand alone. As AI becomes a standard tool, it becomes necessary to shift focus away from pure solution tasks toward evaluating:

  • the ability to understand the context of a problem
  • the quality of technical and business decisions
  • collaboration, communication, and accountability in complex workflows

 

This points toward more situation-based assessments, live cases, and tasks where reflection and reasoning are weighted more heavily than the output itself.

Measure what creates value

At ZRM, we see this development as a clear signal that both recruitment and internal competence assessments need to be rethought. When AI is an integrated part of everyday work, it makes less sense to try to isolate “human capability” from technology. Instead, companies should design evaluations and workflows that reflect reality: humans making decisions in interaction with advanced systems.

This places demands on both processes and systems, from how tasks are structured to how data and tools support transparency, learning, and accountability. The goal is not to fight AI, but to ensure that the organization can still assess quality, judgment, and long-term value.

Anthropic’s experience shows that the challenge does not lie in the technology, but in the models we use to understand and measure human contribution. And that, precisely, will become a decisive competitive factor in the years ahead.
