You may use AI to support your preparation, such as improving the clarity of written responses, practicing interview questions, or learning more about our industry. However, your application and interview responses must reflect your own thinking, experience, and abilities. We want to understand your authentic perspective, creativity, and approach to problem solving. As such, you may not use AI to complete assigned tasks as part of any assessments. If you plan to use AI-supported or assistive technologies as part of a reasonable adjustment, please contact  so we can support you.\nRecruitment Adjustments and Accommodations\nAt Arm, we want to build extraordinary teams. If you need an adjustment or an accommodation during the recruitment process, please email .
