  • Summary

    The past few years have seen a rapid global scramble of governments developing strategic plans for Artificial Intelligence (AI). We focus in this chapter on four of the largest global economies and what their AI plans mean for higher education. Since 2016, China, the EU, the US, and the UK have all published strategic plans for AI (Fa, 2017; Hall and Pesenti, 2017; USA Government, 2019; European Commission, 2020). These plans’ speed appears to indicate a matter of urgency and a sense of high governmental priority. This chapter discusses how these plans differ, what we might look out for and the likely developments ahead for higher education. Higher education is of central importance to meet the coming AI economy’s demands, and embracing AI is broadly considered a transformative existential requirement for many universities’ survival (Aoun, 2017). How governments and their higher learning institutions are planning this transformation is of the utmost importance to us all.
