by Jarrett Carter, Education Dive

The Washington Post reports on the surge of artificial intelligence in a variety of industries and how the rise of robots could dramatically impact higher education in the near future. More than 80% of experts believe computers with artificial intelligence will be able to process information and react on the level of human beings by the year 2040, which will mean reduced jobs and a reduction in the need for higher education for a large percentage of the population. According to Northeastern President Joseph Aoun, bootcamps teaching specific coding and programming knowledge could be the future of education, as fewer jobs in a range of industries will be available outside of programming and designing artificial intelligence.
