Abstract: Higher education in the fourth industrial revolution (HE 4.0) is a complex, dialectical and exciting
opportunity which can potentially transform society for the better. The fourth industrial revolution is
powered by artificial intelligence and it will transform the workplace from tasks-based characteristics
to the human centered characteristics. Because of the convergence of man and machine, it will reduce
the subject distance between humanities and social science as well as science and technology. This
will necessarily require much more interdisciplinary teaching, research and innovation. This paper
explores the impact of HE 4.0 on the mission of a university which is teaching, research (including
innovation) and service in the perspective of Bangladesh. |
