Is AI making university education feel outdated faster than expected?

[Delulu]

This article about universities struggling to adapt to AI assisted learning raised questions I suspect many institutions are quietly panicking about.

Traditional coursework, essays and even programming assignments become harder to evaluate meaningfully once advanced AI tools are everywhere.

The awkward reality is that students will absolutely use these systems in real jobs later, so banning them completely also feels unrealistic.

Do people think universities successfully adapt to AI tools or are higher education systems moving far too slowly?

I suspect oral exams and live project work become more important again because they are harder to fake

Part of me thinks universities will eventually stop fighting AI and redesign assignments around it instead

The awkward truth is that many real world jobs increasingly involve supervising software rather than producing everything manually anyway

Yep, agree with that. Same here honestly.

Appreciate it.
