About the Episode

About the Episode: Recorded live at the ASU GSV Air Show, Mallory chats with Auryan Ratliff, Director of Creative and Emerging Technology at ASU Online. Auryan introduces us to a groundbreaking tool designed to alleviate choice paralysis among prospective students — ASU’s degree recommendation engine. Powered by generative AI, this tool personalizes degree selection based on a quiz that assesses a student’s preferences and educational goals.

Key Takeaways:

  • AI-Powered Customization: The degree recommendation engine uses generative AI to match students with the ideal ASU degree based on their interests and career aspirations.
  • Understanding Student Needs: The tool asks a variety of questions — from academic interests to desired workplace environment — to tailor degree recommendations effectively.
  • Reducing Choice Overload: With over 800 degree options, ASU utilizes this AI tool to help students navigate their choices without feeling overwhelmed.
  • Future of Educational Tools: Beyond degree selection, this AI initiative is poised to personalize the entire educational experience, including financial aid and course selection.
