WATCH: As the job market continues to get more complex, it's hard for people to stand out while applying for work. However, with new technology, tools like AI can either enhance or hinder employment opportunities.

Devan Mescall, a professor at the Edwards School of Business in Saskatoon, says that AI isn’t all inherently bad and that jobseekers can use the tool to help them stand out as an applicant.
