The article discusses historical concerns regarding new technologies like writing, television, and calculators potentially undermining education, now extending to AI. The primary worries focus on cheating, where students could graduate without true competence, posing risks in professional fields such as medicine and engineering. However, the article asserts that while AI facilitates cheating, it is not a new issue in higher education, and its impact on incompetency should be measured in relation to broader systemic issues like nepotism and bribery, rather than solely through the lens of AI.
"While AI does provide a new way to cheat, cheating has always been a problem in higher education and does not seem to have significantly increased with AI."
