Leah said it best 💙 check out the article our Co-Founder shared regarding the impact of AI, and how valuable it has already proven itself, but how critical human understanding and motivation truly is when it comes to college counseling.
Insightful commentary from seasoned technologist Satya Nitta about why AI is a valuable assistant but not a replacement for human tutors. After working with countless students, I couldn't agree more that human understanding and motivation are critical elements of successful tutoring. Looking forward to implementing AI at College Contact to give our tutors more room to focus on those elements. https://lnkd.in/eMvpzQKZ
