4. Have you seen any positive or negative impacts on participation satisfaction or programme outcomes due to the use of AI technology?

AI technology has both positive and negative impacts on participation satisfaction and programme outcomes. Positive impacts include improved matching and placements, improved communication, data-driven insights, and streamlined processes. However, negative impacts include loss of human touch, over-reliance on technology, data privacy concerns, and technical issues.

AI can enhance job placements by analysing students’ preferences, providing 24/7 support, and identifying trends in performance. Over-reliance on AI systems may lead to mismatches or less effective problem-solving, while data privacy concerns may affect students’ trust in the programme. However, ensuring the right balance between AI-driven processes and human interaction is key to maintaining participant trust and delivering optimal outcomes.
