AI is eroding office hours, study groups, and the trust between faculty and students, MIT report finds

MIT report warns AI is disrupting office hours, study groups and faculty-student trust in colleges.

Trust between faculty and students is breaking down, and some professors are even considering AI agents instead of students as research assistants. The university most closely tied to AI's origin story is now calling for a complete overhaul of higher education.
