Will A.I. Make College Obsolete?
The author questions whether the current higher education system will remain relevant and affordable by 2035, given the rise of A.I. and existing pressures on universities. Many Americans are concerned about the high cost of tuition and the value of a college degree.
The American university system is facing significant pressures, including funding cuts, A.I.-assisted cheating, and concerns about the value of a college degree. A recent survey found that over one in four college students believe their tuition was not a good investment. More than 40% of college graduates between 22 and 27 hold jobs that don't require a degree. Seven in ten Americans think the higher education system is going in the wrong direction, citing high tuition costs. Despite these challenges, the author concludes that the system is likely to endure, as its primary function is to certify students' employability. The cost of college is unlikely to decrease in the next nine years.
