Q: If we talk specifically about your university, how are you preparing?

A: "First of all, we are trying to integrate AI into all courses. Not only in science or engineering, but everyone also needs to have an understanding of AI. Suppose the company you work for asks you to prepare a report, whether it is a finance, management or marketing report. If you attempt to do the task without knowing AI, someone else will complete it in 1/10th of the time. As a result, you could lose your job. That is why we are incorporating AI into all areas of the curriculum where it may have an impact. Not only in teaching, but we have also begun using AI in the university’s day-to-day operations. For instance, if you want to recruit someone and receive 700 CVs, it is not feasible to analyze each one manually. So, we are developing a system where, once the CVs are fed into AI, it will generate a complete table showing who has what CGPA, what experience they have, and all other relevant details."

— M Rezwan Khan, emeritus professor of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at United International University and executive director of the Institute of Advanced Research

Q: Recently I read a report stating that due to AI, students are no longer practicing deep thinking and that their critical thinking skills are declining. Do you agree with this?

"No. In my opinion, it only appears that way at the moment. This is because AI is evolving so rapidly and we have not yet been able to redesign our curriculum accordingly. We have also not been able to develop appropriate methods for assessing students. In our time, we used slide rules for calculations. When calculators were introduced, even complex calculations could be done in two minutes. Did anyone then say that because of calculators we could not learn mathematics? No, because after calculators were introduced, we changed the nature of the questions. In our time, there was something called mental arithmetic, doing calculations in one’s head. Today’s students may not even have heard of mental arithmetic. Does that mean they are less intelligent? Does it mean they are learning less mathematics? No. They are simply using their brains in a slightly different way. Their brains are developing differently."
