Nearly 60 per cent of university students are using artificial intelligence in their studies - three times the rate of take-up in the workforce.
Use of artificial intelligence by university students is far outpacing the rate of take-up in workplaces, leading to a disconnect between business leaders and their young employees, according to education experts.
Incorporating artificial intelligence into tertiary education would come with an upfront cost, but universities will reap the benefits, says Cathy Foley.And furthermore, only 9.5 per cent of companies have a strategy for generative AI, Kellie Nuttall, lead of the AI Institute at Deloitte in Australia, told“That’s what keeps me up at night,” she said, noting that business often lagged individuals in the adoption of technology.
“That is working into the disruption and using it, as opposed to putting walls up. We see this in every industry, people putting walls up around traditional business models. We’ve got to think differently because it is part of our life,” Dr Nuttall said.universities would reap a long-term return on the investmentAI could be used to provide students with personal tutors, who could give advice and nudge students towards desired outcomes, Dr Foley said.
“The idea of bringing disparate things together is something which I find really fascinating, especially since I think the future breakthroughs of science are going to come from convergence of different things,” she said, pointing to the Australian Research Council’s funding last year of quantum biotechnology.
