Professor Credentials via AI

AI tutors enable individual professors to package and sell bespoke courses plus an associated ‘professor credential’ that signals learning directly tied to a named teacher rather than an institution. This model substitutes institutional degrees with professor‑branded credentials, supported by scalable AI scaffolding for tutoring, assessment, and portfolio curation. — If widely adopted, professor‑branded credentials would disrupt university governance, hiring practices, financial aid, and regulation of degrees.
