Abstract
Artificial intelligence applications are becoming common in every segment of American life; higher education will not be immune. Attempts to fit artificial intelligence into the existing syllabus or teaching roles are unlikely to be successful and will waste a major opportunity to move higher education into new directions. Students graduating today need to be prepared for frequent transitions in the workplace, and college professors will find that their jobs are also changing.
