AI is devastating higher education, but the system was broken
A Friday essay argues that artificial intelligence is wreaking havoc on higher education, with students outsourcing assignments and undermining assessment and learning. However, the author contends universities were already in crisis before AI arrived, weakened by underfunding, casualisation and mass enrolment. The piece has drawn attention for its bleak assessment of both the technology's impact and the pre-existing fragility of the university system.
Why now: The essay's argument that AI is exposing and accelerating a long-standing crisis in universities resonates with current debates among educators and students.
