Keen On The Future of the University Might Well be Singularity (TCTV)

ismail-1Late last month, I was involved in putting on an Amsterdam based conference about reinventing university education entitled "Whose Crazy Idea Is This Anyway? But, as always, the future has already happened without most of us knowing it. And, in terms of the 21st century university, that future might be the Silicon Valley based Singularity University jointly founded by Ray Kurzeil and Peter Diamandis.Serial entrepreneur Salim Ismail was the founding Executive Director at Singularity and is now the universitys Global Ambassador. So who better to ask about the future of the 21st century university that Ismael? And what he told me about the crisis of the traditional 20th century university will scare many conventional academics, especially those locked in their increasingly irrelevant silos.
