'It's going to be a life skill': educators discuss the impact of AI on university education

'It's going to be a life skill': educators discuss the impact of AI on university education Artificial intelligence is changing how students learn and the world they'll graduate into. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently told a US podcast that if he was graduating today, "I would feel like the luckiest kid in all of history." Altman, whose company developed and released ChatGPT in November 2022, believes the transformative power of AI offers unprecedented opportunities for young people. Yes, there will be job displacement, but "this always happens," says Altman, "and young people are the best at adapting to this." New, more exciting jobs will emerge, full of greater possibilities. For UK sixth-formers and their families looking at universities, trying to make the best possible choices about what to study - and where - in the age of generative AI, Altman's words may offer some comfort.
