Abstract

There is a fine line between the institution of the university and the emergence of democracy: the ideal of an “open society” in which, all together, we can build the future. To continue to play this role, the university faces a number of challenges: maintaining the capacity for self-representation and self-reflection, preserving the integrity of research, preserving libraries versus databases, preserving knowledge versus big data, preserving critical thinking versus algorithms, preserving the values of culture versus the professional training, preserving human intelligence versus artificial intelligence, preserving individual merit versus bureaucratic levelling. It’s mediocrity that corrupts the university
