AI and Higher Ed: An Impending Collapse (opinion)
AI and Higher Ed: An Impending Collapse (opinion)

Herein lies the trap. If students learn how to use AI to complete assignments and faculty use AI to design courses, assignments, and grade student work, then what is the value of higher education? How long until people dismiss the degree as an absurdly overpriced piece of paper? How long until that trickles down and influences our economic and cultural output? Simply put, can we afford a scenario where students pretend to learn and we pretend to teach them?

The College Essay is dead
The College Essay is dead
Why not ask the AI to do the face-to-face assessment? Let’s call this an AI Viva, by analogy with the verbal (viva voce) thesis defence traditionally reserved for PhD students. Here is how I think an AI viva could work: students continue to be taught in class, with as much interaction with the professor as possible; they can use AI as much as they like during the course, using it as a personal teaching assistant (a role it already plays very well). But at the end of the course, the student must meet with an AI examiner - without notes or help - and show what they have learned.

What past education technology failures can teach us about the future of AI in schools
At MIT, I study the history and future of education technology, and I have never encountered an example of a school system – a country, state or municipality – that rapidly adopted a new digital technology and saw durable benefits for their students.

The agreement — which draws on the expertise of Penn faculty members — aims to help the state develop clear guidelines for the use of AI in fields such as education, healthcare, and public administration.

In the announcement, Jameson said the University’s goal is to “inform AI policies that benefit and protect all Pennsylvanians,” adding that “generative AI is changing how we work, learn, and innovate.”

AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
there’s a difference between tools and technologies. Tools help us accomplish tasks; technologies reshape the very environments in which we think, work, and relate. As philosopher Peter Hershock observes, we don’t merely use technologies; we participate in them. With tools, we retain agency—we can choose when and how to use them. With technologies, the choice is subtler: they remake the conditions of choice itself. A pen extends communication without redefining it; social media transformed what we mean by privacy, friendship, even truth.
