What happens to elite professions when AI can write a legal brief in seconds, but incoming professionals lose the ability to think for themselves? In this episode of Reality Check, host Dave Nicholson sits down with David Armond, Assistant Dean of IT at BYU Law School, to dissect the massive disruption of generative AI in higher education. From the stark philosophical divide between top universities banning AI versus those subsidizing it, to the hidden dangers of "frictionless learning" atrophying foundational skills, Armond delivers a candid look at the financial, ethical, and practical realities facing academia. Whether you're a tech vendor trying to sell to universities, a student navigating the job market, or a parent worried about the information age, this episode is a crucial wake-up call on why skipping the "ditch-digging" phase of education might just compromise the future of human expertise.
