MIT is mulling an overhaul of its entire educational system in response to the threat posed by powerful AI models — a striking response to the tech from one of the planet’s most visible and influential research universities.
In a new report published by the university’s ad hoc AI committee, which is co-chaired by professors Eric Klopfer and Samuel Madden, the educators describe the “profound challenges” that AI is already causing.
One of its most alarming conclusions: that AI is now able to credibly complete most undergraduate assignments.
AI “can produce credible solutions and provide reasonable responses to almost any written assignment in our undergraduate curriculum,” the report stated, “including essays, math and science problems, proofs, and coding assignments.”
