Malaysian university seeks approval for AI-taught degree - Helen Packer, Times Higher Education

A Malaysian university expects to be the first to launch a degree programme taught and assessed entirely by artificial intelligence, following research into technology that scans students’ brain signals. Sasa Arsovski, dean of the Faculty of AI and Robotics at the privately owned Raffles University, has developed a platform called MyAi Teaching Assistant that allows academics to upload their lecture presentations, which are then turned into text notes by AI. The technology also creates an avatar based on an image of the lecturer and can clone their voice, allowing the avatar to deliver a virtual class from the notes on behalf of the academic.
