Abstract
Young people are finding it increasingly difficult to gain a sound overview of alternatives, when transitioning from school to vocational training, further education, or professional life. The article presents the ongoing development project "Integration of AI in career guidance and in the training of counsellors based on speech recognition", a team of AI (Artificial Intelligence) experts from the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence and the University of Trier, researchers from the University of Applied Labour Studies (HdBA) and counselling practitioners are trying to find out how artificial intelligence can support counsellors in their work with clients in their career orientation and decision-making. The approach is to develop and evaluate a prototype for an AI-system that can be utilized within career guidance and counselling by professionals. The article embeds the presented AI system in the AI-critical discussion and shows how the system should be evaluated. In the conclusions, we outline the testing and evaluation steps that will be taken in the further course of the project.
