When AI accelerates, the market changes and PISA retreats

The technological transformation driven by artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the labour market and the value of professional qualifications, while PISA results reveal a concerning decline in students' fundamental learning. This phenomenon, combined with demographic pressure, represents a significant threat to the traditional role of universities, requiring a profound rethinking of the future of higher education and the preparation of young people for a constantly evolving market.

The code is easy, even more critical is software engineering

An opinion article reflects on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on software engineering, citing Pedro Samorrinha, a specialist with twenty years of experience in the field. According to the text, although AI agents can accelerate software development, real productivity is only achieved with rigorous development methodologies, precise requirements specification, and human validation at each stage. Samorrinha's team reports productivity improvements of 30% or more, but warns that "vibe-coding" can be risky due to model hallucinations and errors. The article concludes that if code has become easier to write, software engineering — defining precisely what to build and verifying it was well built — is today even more critical, and that the training of junior engineers is shifting from learning through programming to learning through rigorous specification.
