## Resource

The first college students to have access to A.I. are graduating, and employers are wary. Amanda Hoover is a senior correspondent at Business Insider covering the tech industry. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how companies are trying to discern if A.I. is being used to cheat through interviews, why no one quite knows what these graduates are capable of, and what these types of intellectual shortcuts are doing to higher ed. Her article is “ Meet the graduating class of CollegeGPT .” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
