"Universities must now also radically redefine how they offer course and application guidance," according to this article. It struck me as a little off for the author to consider how the university prospectus world be incorporated into an AI-based personal assistant. Why would the student even need these services? It's hard not to imagine that AI, if broadly applied, would create sweeping changes in all aspects of the university, not just the prospectus. It's a common thing, though, for people to predict changes in one place while expecting everything else to stay roughly the same.
