Four ways that artificial intelligence can benefit universities

Times Higher Education recently asked whether universities needed to rethink what they do and how they do it, given that artificial intelligence is beginning to take over many post-university careers. With that in mind, here are four examples of how AI can benefit universities. First, there is a new role for higher education, which is to equip graduates to work effectively alongside artificially intelligent systems. The onslaught of AI on white-collar jobs is likely to lead to the AI augmentation of human intelligence, rather than the total replacement of human workers with machine workers. We need workers who understand how to make the best use of the power that AI automation can bring to industry and commerce.
