A Nonprofit Guides Admissions Officers on Ethical AI Use
A nonprofit organization called AI in College Admissions is building resources for admissions officers, counselors, and education technology strategists to use AI responsibly in their work with students.
The group operates on a straightforward premise: ethical AI can improve access to quality college counseling. But defining "ethical" remains an open question.
Emily Pacheco, a former admissions officer at Loyola University Chicago and current advisor for the organization, offered one example. A student might use technology to brainstorm a list of potential colleges to apply to. Whether that crosses an ethical line depends on the specifics-and those specifics are still being debated.
Pacheco said the answers are fluid and evolving, making the organization's forum a space where educators can hash out what responsible AI use looks like in practice.
For education professionals managing admissions processes or student counseling, understanding these boundaries matters. The organization provides both knowledge and tools to support that work.
