Since the latest version of ChatGPT launched last fall, there has been a lot of discussion about students using AI tools and the potential effects this will have on education. For example, last spring an Intelligent.com survey found that students of all ages are replacing some of their tutoring sessions with ChatGPT. But what about the other side of the equation? It’s common knowledge that companies are using AI tools to evaluate applicants’ resumes, so are educational institutions doing the same? In September, Intelligent.com surveyed 399 education professionals with an in-depth knowledge of their schools’ admissions processes.
Key findings:
Half of educational admissions departments currently use AI; 82 percent will by 2024
Majority of schools using AI will allow it to have the final say on applicants
Efficiency is the top reason why schools are using AI in college admissions
2 in 3 admissions professionals are concerned about the ethics of AI
