Education system is obsolete and now they are frightened for their positions becouse they dont want to adapt and modernise.

Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Hmm, not sure the education system is obsolete, perhaps it's more the 'assignment/essay' method assessment?

In the Italian university system almost all assessment is oral: you sit down at the end of your module and get grilled by your professors. Perhaps the Anglosphere universities will move to that system.

2 downsides of oral exams: examiner bias (your professor could be an '-ist') and it's labour intensive. Perhaps an AI oral examiner could be the way forward?

Hear hear, that's exactly what I have been saying! I like the sound of that Italian exam system; an oral, interview style examination from expert peers sounds like an extremely honest and deep way to assess someone's skills.👌

Very much agreed that using 'AI experts' to do it could be very useful in removing/accounting for human instinctive maladaptive biases (against gender, race, appearance etc) 👍
