Ferris State University in Michigan intends to enroll two artificial intelligence (AI) students in classes this year.
According to a report from local news source MLive, this open-ended experiment could end up producing the first machine learning agents to earn a degree via classroom education.
While surveying human students and studying their experiences can yield useful information for researchers, an AI “student” could bring a distinct perspective — albeit a non-human one — which could reveal opportunities to improve the college-going experience for human students.
