69. Is AI Impacting College Admissions and Counseling?

In this podcast episode, the hosts explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping college admissions. They recognize that many students are using AI tools to help with their application materials, such as personal essays, often without any regulation. Instead of calling for a ban on this practice, the speakers advocate for proactive and ethical guidance. They point out that AI has the potential to level the playing field for students who lack access to college counseling, but they also warn about the risk of widening the digital divide for those without access to advanced AI technologies. The conversation also touches on the need for universities to rethink their admissions processes and for higher education to integrate AI literacy into their curricula, ensuring that students are prepared for a workforce that increasingly relies on AI.
