A Malaysian privately-owned university is looking to launch the first degree programme taught and assessed entirely by artificial intelligence.
Raffles University has created a platform called MyAi Teaching Assistant, which it says will allow academics to upload their lectures. The AI then turns into text notes, and an avatar look-alike of tutor, with their cloned voice, then delivers the notes to the eagerly waiting students.
Dean of the AI and Robotics faculty, Sasa Arsovoski said: “We take the experience and expertise of the lecturers, which is all summarised in their Power Point presentations, and then we have a properly designed lesson.”
Students on the data science degree will be able to ask the AI questions, and in theory the AI can ask attendees questions too. All coursework will be automatically graded by the system.
A new PQ magazine is heading your way on Friday. You will find this, and other great stories on the fun page.
