"The AI being piloted for high school college counseling doesn't simply skim the internet like general-purpose AI, which is subject to misinformation and manipulation. It's programmed with answers provided by experts, based on a history of previous applicants' questions."
"Several educators said the AI being designed for college counseling has the goal of encouraging more human interaction, not less. College counselors still are best at understanding and suggesting how students can achieve their individual ambitions."
Khloe Watson-Barrett, a high school junior, is anxious about the college admissions process. Many students face challenges due to limited access to college counselors. New AI technology is being piloted to assist in college counseling, offering tailored advice based on expert input and past applicants' experiences. This AI aims to enhance, rather than replace, human interaction in counseling, allowing counselors to focus on individual student ambitions while providing essential information to students outside of school hours.
