Do video interviews such as Sonru use AI to judge candidates?

Hi, i've just been made aware that video interviews are often judged by AI and not real people, is this the case? I did an interview for UBS and they use Sonru do any of you guys know if it will be reviewed by a person? What about HSBC who use Hirevue?

Investment Banking Full Resume Review

“Overall it was a seamless process with very little back and forth. The feedback was very clear and actionable. It was very obvious were my short comings were and where I needed to improve my resume. Feed back was very constructive and overall was super helpful. The process was very streamlined and efficient. The only thing I would improve from the process not necessarily the mentor was that there should be a way to disclose if you are under a non disclosure agreement because that created some friction when implementing feedback.”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Iason is super knowledgeable, gives very practical feedback, he was able to walk me through how to answer all of the behaviourals for my Evercore interview, we also had the chance to review some technicals as well. His insights on the markets and commercial awareness were top notch and gave me a very clear idea of what to say in an interview to stand out since those questions are starting to become more and more important in today’s day an age. He went well over time and helped me clarify anything ”
