Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, asserts that artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize offline universities. He argues that the current higher education system is outdated and that traditional lecture formats may soon become obsolete. Sanyal emphasizes the need for universities to focus on research and development to create new knowledge.
He suggests that universities could transform into innovation hubs, competing not just with each other but also with private and government R&D labs. While acknowledging that some disciplines, like surgery, may not fully adapt to AI, he highlights the potential for personalized learning through AI. However, he warns of the risks of ideological monoculture in humanities subjects due to AI's limitations in fostering non-standardized thinking.
