AI broke the college degree: Why higher education matters more than ever

AI broke the college degree: Why higher education matters more than ever | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
From thelinfieldreview.com - March 8, 2:39 PM

"While it was once a faraway and futuristic idea, AI has now found its way into many aspects of everyday life, including higher education. This is what Patrick Dempsey, founder and co-CEO of Pend AI, spoke about in his keynote lecture on Feb. 18. 

 

He began the talk with a trivia quiz about actor Patrick Dempsey. Once a winner was declared, he revealed the point of the exercise. He’d created the questions, Gemini AI created the multiple choice answers and Bubble AI had put together the quiz, demonstrating what AI is capable of and the technology that today’s students are surrounded by."

Read more
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Higher education is, at least in part, meant to equip students with the skills and specialized knowledge from their fields they will need in their careers after graduation. For this reason, Dempsey weighed in on the discourse surrounding AI in the workplace. While many worry that AI will automate jobs wholesale, he posited that AI could be used to automate certain tasks within jobs that don’t require this specialized knowledge, like emailing and meetings."
