At the Milken Global Conference, Worth Media’s Dan Costa sits down with Suzanne Dibianca for a fascinating look at how AI is transforming education, college access, and the human support systems around them.
Suzanne shares real-world examples of AI-powered tools—like agents that help students find the right colleges, track deadlines, and translate documents—while highlighting why human guidance remains essential.
