Online degree programs are more popular than ever, and there are more and more Universities entering the fray. Once the domain of for-profit schools, online program and degree programs are now being offered by most public universities, including most of top schools.

Artificial Intelligence is sometimes better than humans. And sometimes worse. It’s usually faster and cheaper, and that alone ensures it a very important place in our world, but not to the exclusion of human intelligence.
