This is a solution (evidently imperfect and arguably obsolete) the education system uses to address the problem of proving the fact a student has gained desirable knowedge and experience. It can and should be deprecated altogether once we come up with a better solution to this. And we certainly can. For example, we can invent ana AI which would interview a student/candidate a way, proven (by numerous comparisions to their actual performance measured with other methods) to estimate their level of expertise and capability with sufficient degree of precision.
In case such a new way proves reliable and efficient we can even decouple expertise measurement and actual education on a mass scale then - let people gain knowledge whatever an alternative way they want and can, then just come and pass the test to receive an accredited degree. This way we can automate production of unlimited stream of certified experts.
- michaelt 3y agoI'm not saying it's a good or bad idea - but the idea of a future where an interview with a computer judges people's ability and decides whether they get to go to college or not sounds like something from Futurama.
- qwerty456127 3y agoI can see no problem here if it is objectively proven to be capable of reliably confirming whether a candidate is an expert. Unless you artificialy rule that candidates can only apply once. For cases when a candidate emerges who believes he somehow really can't pass the AI-powered test despite being perfectly competent there obviously should be fallback alternatives available, i.e. a jury of experts who would talk to him and tell whether there is a chance his claim is legitimate or he's just kidding.
- theprivacydad 3y agoIt's a good idea, but doesn't solve the problem of the student then using AI to answer the questions in the interview. We're back to square one.
