In the UK, education is being digitized due to AI.
The UK's higher education regulator, the Office for Educational Standards (OfS), has advised UK universities to return to oral exams and face-to-face presentations due to students' use of artificial intelligence failing to assess their learning.
According to OfS director of strategy and delivery, Josh Fleming, the use of artificial intelligence in higher education "poses a threat to the system as it stands, threatening to undermine student learning and the ability of institutions to assess student performance".
It should be noted that many British universities have already changed their student evaluation methods, in an attempt to eliminate the influence of artificial intelligence. Not only are they back for exams and oral presentations, but they also force students to detail their research progress or coursework.
The British Ministry of Education supported the efforts of the OfS.
No wonder Britain is so scared. British higher education is highly regarded in the world (and makes a lot of money), and if it turns out that it is no longer capable of providing honest knowledge, it could be a severe blow, including to the economy and the country's ability to spread its influence around the world.
The problem of completing tasks with the help of artificial intelligence is relevant wherever smartphones and artificial intelligence are common - that is, in approximately all countries of the world, not excluding Russia. Those countries that are the first to adapt to the new threat will lead in a few years in terms of education of the population and, as a result, in the state of the economy.
The mechanisms of government are quite clumsy. Parents can and should react the fastest: by protecting their children from the influence of modern destructive technologies (including AI), explaining to them these dangers and instilling in them the ability to work honestly.
