President of MBZUAI Eric Xing said current metrics to grade student's intelligence will be very quickly disrupted by artificial intelligence.university said the educational system's current quantifiers of"intelligence" will face disruption from the new technology, allowing students to focus on solving problems rather than simply recalling information.
He said that because AI technologies bring about vast amounts of highly accessible knowledge easily gleaned from a textbook, current"intelligence" metrics, such as the medical or legal bar examinations, will be quickly disrupted. "If you are really aiming at producing people in the workforce that are good at solving problems, then actually there is a way, you know, to adjust or maybe modify or maybe improve the entire way of teaching and examining it to reflect on [those] strengths, which I believe should be called intelligence," Xing said."There's a difference between being knowledgeable and intelligent.
