We’re finished if we only teach knowledge – Sam Jonah warns universities as AI takes over answers

“AI will take every job that consists of knowing things — and it will multiply the value of every job that consists of doing things in the physical world and caring for people in the human world.”” Rejecting claims that artificial intelligence would eliminate all jobs, Mr Jonah said technology would instead increase the value of human skills.

Delivering a speech on the theme “We Hold the Pen: The University in the Age of Answers,” Mr Jonah argued that AI has fundamentally changed higher education by making knowledge instantly accessible.
