Earlier this year, my university - @rmit - asked me to provide a report on AI and higher education. Before writing this report, I was pessimistic about the future of universities. I now think that universities will become increasingly important but they need to change. The focus of the report is on how AI is reorganising creative work and adjacent areas of administration, what this means for graduates, and how we should respond. Prepared for RMIT University's College of Design and Social Context, it draws on economics and computer science, with examples from media, design, architecture, advertising and art, across six areas: work, platforms, value creation, organisations, physical AI and governance. It departs from other reports in that I suggest practice–arrangement bundles (in the Schatzkian sense), rather than tasks, as the unit through which to understand change. The report identifies two key challenges. First, automating entry-level work erodes the pathways through which novices become experts, and neglecting this risks technical, social and cultural collapse. The second is legibility: making practices machine-readable enables credit, interoperability and accountability, but also extraction, so who governs that infrastructure becomes a central distributional question. I recount my own work on contribution systems and Artificial Organisational Intelligence in the context of tackling economic and organisational challenges posed by AI. I also make the argument (as others have done) that universities should reconstruct 'apprenticeships', but to this I add material and situated practice, graduates' capacity for judgement, organisational literacy, machine-readable governance and institutional agency. For those overseas, our College is the equivalent of a Liberal Arts faculty with a very practice-based focus. The 'College' has over 21,000 students in Australia and Vietnam, from undergraduates to PhD candidates, taught by more than 1,000 academics. RMIT is Australia's biggest university - over 100,000 students when international campuses and vocational education are included.
