Interesting read, I did my engineering degree back in the late 70s and will share that I found it tough.(Hence Valuable) What it did teach was how to frame problems and issues, analyse information and move forward to solutions and has served me well throughout my career. I now use various AIs and compare it to a smart graduate assistant or team of global experts but keep the common sense and judgement to myself.
Like you I am concerned about the impact of AI on education today and that real innovation, insight and judgement will be diluted. Not sure how education can move forward ensuring full people development whilst taking advantage of the cognitive amplification of using appropriate AI
Thanks, I think we need to find a way to help develop learning and the critical use of AI. Without the underpinning of knowledge the tools are unlikely to help augment skills.
It's not just a University problem. It's creeping into secondary school too. So we need to maintain the foundations of learning or this will have wider societal implications.
