I had a few interviews just out of university. One place gave me a list of boring questions about C++ regarding inheritance, etc. seems straight from a text book. At the other place they asked questions about the political situation in East-Europe and why design patterns might be detrimental to the quality of code. Regarding the fact that I love AI/ML and programming is just a means to me, this wasn't a difficult choice. The job of the person that gets interviewed is to weed out the places where you do not do anything interesting intellectually. Sure, ask this question, but you'll ask quite a lot from your applicant to still consider your company an interesting place to work for.
