AI is eroding office hours, study groups, and the trust between faculty and students, MIT report finds

An MIT expert committee warns that AI is eroding key parts of the college experience: office hours, study groups, and the school's flagship research program for undergraduates are all fading. Trust between faculty and students is breaking down, and some professors are even considering AI agents instead of students as research assistants. The university most closely tied to AI's origin story is now calling for a complete overhaul of higher education.
