Humans Plus AI Coaches to Close the Student Counseling Gap | John Branam | TEDxPortland

​Millions of students need personalized college and career guidance, but overwhelmed school counselors are often responsible for hundreds of young people at once. In this talk, John Branam argues that thoughtfully designed AI coaches can help close that support gap when they work in partnership with trusted human advisors. Drawing from his own family story and the realities of inequitable access, he makes the case for humanistic AI that is affirming, secure, research-based, and built around student agency. The goal is not to replace human connection, but to give every student more of the guidance, confidence, and opportunity they deserve.

We could not do this without community support. With special thanks to the University of Oregon for their presenting partnership. The world-class stage production by Portland Center Stage at The Armory. The incredible legacy bound Event Book provided by Premier Press. Lastly, the brand identity and creative digital craft provided by our Agency of Record - This. All of our Partners, Films, Community Collaborations and event history can be found at TEDxPortland.com. John Branam is an engaged parent, husband, and citizen who is passionate about improving opportunities and outcomes for youth, and especially for those from low-income families.

John is also the Chief Transformation Officer of Bottom Line, a national education nonprofit, and has spent nearly 15 years at similarly-focused organizations.

John has a degree in political science from Washington & Lee University, and a law degree from the University of Oregon.
