AI and the humanities: crisis or opportunity?
Matched: Artificial Intelligence, generative AI
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 like critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and cultural understanding may become more valuable to employers precisely because AI cannot replicate these abilities. Universities should adopt assessments, such as oral exams, that cannot be AI-generated.
