UPCOMING EVENTS
Colleges have been employing chatbots for a number of years to support student recruitment and enrollment. But as AI technology has advanced, the chatbots have advanced into AI agents. Simply put, a chatbot answers simple, pre-defined questions using scripted responses, while an AI agent is more advanced and can understand complex queries, learn from interactions, and potentially take proactive steps. Such tools, such as voice agents, are used frequently in corporate customer relations and campuses have quickly followed suit. But within the higher ed, how should these AI admissions agents ideally work? What parameters does a college need to set to make sure responses and actions are appropriate? What can colleges learn potentially from the business world about what works – what doesn’t? This forum, moderated by a Chronicle journalist, would explain what AI agents are, how they are benefiting admissions, and what the proper use of them should be.
