AI is devastating higher education, but the system was broken
A Friday essay argues that artificial intelligence is damaging higher education, but stresses that universities were already weakened before AI arrived — by underfunding, casualisation, and assessment systems built on rote work that AI can now do easily. The piece suggests the technology is exposing long-standing structural flaws rather than creating them, prompting debate about how teaching and assessment should change.
Why now: The rapid spread of AI tools like ChatGPT into classrooms is forcing educators to rethink assessment and the purpose of university degrees.
