LinkedIn Cofounder Says Tests Will Get Harder Because of AI


As AI cheating rises, Reid Hoffman expects teachers to turn to tests such as oral exams that force students to understand a subject more deeply.

The LinkedIn cofounder, who's also a partner at the venture capital firm Greylock, isn't an advocate for keeping AI out of schools — he believes there are ways in which it could aid learning rather than kneecapping it. He noted that prior to the advent of AI, ways to "hack" the educational system already existed, such as piling on just enough knowledge to pass a written test or rushing to complete a passable essay that didn't dive much deeper than surface level. Hoffman, who didn't immediately respond to a request for further comment on the topic, argued that it's now an educator's responsibility to get their students ready to work with AI because it will transform their future workplaces, as well.
