This question not only probes the potential of AI in enhancing career guidance but also underscores the urgency of addressing the vast, diverse career interests and needs of individuals globally.

To explore this intriguing intersection of technology and career development, Jared Chung, the Founder and Executive Director of CareerVillage.org joins Michael Horn on this episode of the Future of Education.
