AI and the humanities: crisis or opportunity?
Matched: Artificial Intelligence
AI poses both a threat and opportunity to humanities education. LLMs risk devaluing degrees if students submit AI-generated work — professors identified it correctly only 53% of the time in one study. Yet graduates who develop genuinely human skills in critical thinking, ethics, and contextual interpretation may become more valuable to employers precisely because AI cannot replicate these abilities. Universities should adopt assessments, like oral exams, that authentically test human judgement.
