The greatest risk of AI in higher education isn’t cheating – it’s the erosion of learning itself
Matched: Artificial Intelligence
The real danger of AI in higher education isn't cheating but the erosion of learning itself, argue researchers from UMass Boston.

From automated advising to agentic research tools, the shift raises questions about transparency, accountability, and whether universities remain ecosystems that form human judgment or merely credential factories.
