How Will Artificial Intelligence Change Higher Ed? Let Us Count the Ways
The 2024 New Jersey Big Data Alliance Symposium, held last spring at Rutgers-New Brunswick, focused on the impacts of AI on society and higher education. Key takeaways include AI's amazing ability to automate tedious manual tasks (e.g., transcribing handwritten historical documents into text), streamlining the admissions process and significantly improving the feedback loop.
How is AI impacting college admissions?
AI is reshaping college admissions by helping administrators create balanced cohorts of students. For instance, AI can analyze incoming student profiles to ensure a diverse mix of talents, such as athletes and artists, enhancing the overall student community.
What role does AI play in research efficiency?
AI is anticipated to significantly speed up research processes. For example, tasks that previously took months, such as analyzing election coverage from multiple television markets, could potentially be completed in seconds with AI tools, allowing researchers to focus more on analysis rather than data collection.
How can AI assist in teaching and learning?
AI can enhance teaching by providing tools that cater to different learning styles. For instance, it can transcribe handwritten materials into typed text, making historical documents more accessible. Additionally, it can help students envision future scenarios in social policy, fostering creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
