    The three structural trends shaping the AI crisis in higher education The sociotechnical transformation of AI . It’s not simply that the technology is improving

    The AI crisis in higher education is shaped by three key trends: the sociotechnical transformation of AI, which diminishes human reflexivity; the political economy of the AI investment bubble, suggesting future instability in pricing and firm viability; and the financial crisis in higher education itself, exacerbated by global volatility. Universities should delay locking into AI products until pricing models stabilize and urgently reform assessment systems, as current methods are unlikely to remain secure against AI advancements. A rushed adoption of automation risks long-term costs and devaluing degrees, while inaction could fuel criticism of the sector. AI

    IMPACT Higher education institutions face strategic decisions on AI adoption, assessment reform, and financial planning due to evolving AI capabilities and market dynamics.
