Big AI is trying to own the pathway to work. Universities shouldn’t play along | Ella Hafermalz.

AI brief

A Guardian opinion piece argues that universities should protect their role in education so students retain an independent pathway to employment, as AI companies such as OpenAI become more involved in that pathway.

Why it matters: If AI companies come to control the route from education to work, universities could lose their position in preparing students for employment.
