Why higher education needs to embrace AI

In a panel with Fast Company, education innovators shared why colleges and universities have a responsibility to arm students—and workers—with the skills they need as AI transforms the workplace.

For all the talk of how artificial intelligence will revolutionize the way we live and work, there are few industries where generative AI has already had a profound impact. Across the education space, however, from K-12 schools to universities, AI has been widely adopted by students and teachers alike. Educators are using AI to create lesson plans and save time on administrative work and even grading. And students now regularly use AI chatbots in the classroom and for help with assignments—to varying results.
