How and when to use artificial intelligence in your science job application

TL;DR - A Nature careers piece summarizing a webinar on how scientists should (and shouldn't) use AI tools when applying for jobs, and how hiring managers are responding. Content available is only the title and a one-line abstract, so the takeaways below are largely inferred from framing.

• Framed as practical career guidance rather than research: it reports advice delivered in a Nature-hosted webinar, not new experimental results.
• Addresses both sides of the hiring pipeline — jobseekers using generative AI to draft CVs, cover letters and applications, and hiring managers evaluating AI-assisted material.
• The "how and when" framing implies norms around appropriate use (drafting, editing, tailoring) versus misuse (fabrication, undisclosed wholesale generation).
• No technical details, models, datasets, or quantitative findings are provided in the available content.
