The book contains seven chapters describing how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently being used in six different institutions of higher education including both community colleges and universities. The first chapter is an overview of the history of AI from Charles Babbage in the early 19th century to the present. Each chapter also presents the results of research into what the possible impact of AI will be in 2032 and estimates of how AI potentially may affect higher education institutions in 2050. The chapters include the impacts of Artificial Intelligence on education, technical programs, student affairs, agriculture, health care and religion. The book gives provides the reader an opportunity to understand just how Artificial Intelligence will become part and parcel of higher education over a twenty-eight-year time period from 2022. This book attempts to convince those in higher education that disruption, phenomenal change, is heading directly for those of involved in higher education from the community college to the research university and every educational institution in between. If it is thought that change significantly modified the twentieth century, that is nothing compared to disruptions coming the twenty-first.
