While AI certainly has the potential to automate routine administrative processes and improve operational efficiency in higher education institutions, there are also some concerns and drawbacks to consider. One major concern is the potential for job displacement

One academic research that provides evidence for the concern of job displacement in higher education institutions due to AI is a study conducted by Bessen and Tribe (2020). In their research, they examined the impact of automation on administrative tasks in US colleges and universities between 1989 and 2018. They found that the adoption of information technology has led to a significant decline in administrative employment in higher education institutions. They further argue that the automation of routine administrative tasks through AI has contributed to job displacement in this sector.

Institutional Perspectives on the Use of Robotizing Technologies in Higher Education, a study conducted by researchers Crawford, et al. (2019), provides evidence for the concern of job displacement in higher education due to AI automation. The researchers conducted interviews with representatives from various higher education institutions and found that there is a widespread belief that the use of AI technologies can lead to the displacement of administrative staff.
