Will Artificial Intelligence Disrupt Higher Education - by Matthew Lynch, Tech Edvocate

Artificial intelligence will disrupt higher education; there’s no doubt of that. Already AI has been assuming some of the more basics tasks in academia, such as grading, data analysis and seeking correlations.  So far these automatic tasks have been within a single university system, but there’s no reason to believe that AI will continue to function in the isolation of the ivory tower. AI will connect academia to other industries, performing elaborate cognitive processes that search for connections between a variety of fields. Think transformation, not disruption!  Change is never easy for anyone, but universities who choose not change may be left behind. http://www.thetechedvocate.org/will-artificial-intelligence-disrupt-higher-education/
