AI will completely transform offline universities, says Sanjeev Sanyal

Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM), on Tuesday said artificial intelligence (AI) will completely transform how offline universities operate.

Speaking on the theme “The Potential and Peril of AI in Education” at the ASU+GSV & Emeritus Summit here, Sanyal said the current higher education system is outdated and that expensive college education may become obsolete, as the same lecture can be taught anywhere at no incremental cost. He added that university education, in its current form, is a 20th-century creation.
