AI: the university has to prove it is still needed!

Jornal de Negócios8 September 2026 at 10:15

Artificial intelligence is transforming the educational landscape, forcing universities to rethink their role and demonstrate their value in an increasingly digitalized world.

The article argues that university teaching will have to return to very human activities to remain relevant, including discussion between students and teachers, and the oral defense of ideas and arguments.

Among the suggested approaches are the use of practical cases, simulations, real projects and decision-making situations under pressure, which cannot be easily replicated by technology.

The text calls on higher education institutions to find ways to prove that they are still needed in the face of AI advancement, focusing on distinctively human competencies.
