\n

While there\u2019s a lot of fear right now about AI taking people\u2019s jobs, AI could actually help people get jobs \u2013 including those with some of the most significant barriers to employment.<\/p>\n

Tens of millions of Americans have some kind of criminal history. And helping those with low-level crimes and non-convictions on their records used to be a painstakingly slow and expensive process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this episode, we explore how a new AI-powered app could provide a new path to employment for job-seekers who face some of the toughest hurdles in the market.<\/p>\n
