AI Economy and Higher Education
Get PDFThis chapter focuses on four leading AI economies: China, the EU, the United States and the United Kingdom. We are interested in how these economic AI plans impact higher education (HE). Universities are critical to the workforce and, therefore, the financial health of a country. Nevertheless, are they ready to contribute to this AI economy? Are our governments preparing for the futuristic and ultramodern approach being adopted in, for instance, China? What will be the consequences if higher education falls far behind in some and not others? Some governments are (and have) made numerous alliances with large multinational industries, including Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, Huawei, Baidu and Alibaba, amongst the most prominent. Later in this chapter, we will take a look at some of these partnerships and the future thinking and planning taking place. The strategic plans, and approach to partnerships, differ in depth, substance and persuasive style in the documentation we are relying on. Some of these differences will alter how our universities adapt, plan and develop the curriculum necessary for a robust AI economy. Higher education has a critical role to play in this economic shift and is in fact at a ‘crossroads of disruption’as Kaplan suggests (Kaplan 2021).
