New Tool, Same Story? Will Students buy AI Disruption?

Description:

Postsecondary is continually awash in nontraditional offerings that threaten to upend the industry, from massive open online courses to boot camps—with little success. With the advent of accessible AI, Western Governors University and WGU Labs have embarked on a moonshot: a degree for the cost of a gym membership. Will this transform the postsecondary landscape? More importantly, will students buy it this time? In this debate, leading voices in AI, higher ed, and media discuss whether continued innovations will gain the traction needed to upend the system—or if history will repeat itself.
