Protect College Admissions from AI Bots and Fake Applicants

As AI tools become more accessible, colleges face a growing risk of fraudulent applications powered by bots. From fake identities to AI-generated essays, the threat is real. This blog explores how Talview’s Bot Defense solution helps admissions teams detect and stop AI-driven fraud before it impacts enrollment integrity.

With generative AI making fraud easier, colleges need to stay ahead. That’s where Talview’s Bot Defense solution comes in.
