Colleges Use AI to Evaluate Essays

Some colleges are now using artificial intelligence to help them read and score student essays and transcripts.

This is a new way to make the admissions process faster and more consistent.

For example, Virginia Tech is using AI to score essays, which helps them make decisions about who gets in a month earlier.

Caltech is using AI to check if students really did the research they say they did.

Some schools, like Georgia Tech, are using AI to quickly review transcripts and give students information about their credits.

Not everyone is happy about this, though.

Some people worry that using AI might not be fair or transparent.

But colleges say they are still using humans to make the final decisions, and AI is just there to help.
