MORNING GLORY: The best case for AI? Let it decide who gets into college
Summary
Fox News commentator Hugh Hewitt argues that artificial intelligence could substantially reduce the need for college and university admissions staff, estimating that at least 40,000 positions could be affected nationwide. He says AI could rapidly evaluate grades, test scores, essays, recommendations, financial circumstances, geography, athletic and legacy status, and other factors while excluding race, ethnicity, and religion where legally prohibited. Hewitt presents AI as potentially more transparent and objective than human admissions officers, but the article is an opinion advocating experimentation rather than reporting an implemented policy or verified employment projection.

Biblical Context
The article has no direct biblical or prophetic subject matter. A limited thematic connection exists with biblical warnings against partiality and dishonest judgment: the proposal seeks greater consistency and transparency in decisions affecting applicants, while the article also discusses the possibility that human or automated systems may encode unfair preferences. These passages provide general ethical principles rather than predictions about artificial intelligence or college admissions. No strong biblical connection to prophecy is identified.
