Vanessa (Highly likely) says
The facilities today of AIs in "reading" the tone of voice or body expressions in a job interview. This removes the need for a person to do this "body reading".

Translation:
The capabilities of AI today in "reading" the tone of voice or body language during a job interview make it unnecessary for a person to perform this "body reading".

Human Resource has a "human" component that automation cannot justify in terms of work, skill, and judgement. So, its highly unlikely for this position to be automated for the next two decades.
