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

An MIT committee report indicates that the integration of artificial intelligence in higher education is diminishing traditional student engagement, including study groups and office hours. The findings suggest that these technological shifts are straining faculty-student relationships and threatening the integrity of undergraduate research programs. This trend highlights a broader tension between adopting new digital tools and maintaining the collaborative, trust-based environment essential to the academic experience.
