MIT Warns That AI Can Now Credibly Complete Pretty Much Any Undergrad Assignment, Considers Overhaul of Entire Educational Model

Researchers at MIT have concluded that artificial intelligence has crossed a threshold where it can now competently complete virtually any undergraduate assignment, forcing the prestigious institution to consider dismantling its traditional educational model rather than trying to police student use of the technology. The finding suggests that the problem is no longer whether students will cheat with AI—it's whether the entire premise of assigning written papers, problem sets, and exams as measures of learning has become obsolete. MIT's potential overhaul could signal a broader reckoning across higher education, where institutions must now choose between adaptation and irrelevance.
