“The number of higher
education students in the
world is expected to
quadruple,

from around 100 million in
2000
to 400 million in 2030”

To accommodate them we need to build

9.615 universities in 30 years
That is 3 universities
For 30.000 students
per week

Experiences from the AI-class
• 23,000 students passed the online course (253 got perfect scores)
• Professor Thrun has taught more students the subject than all of the
rest of the computer science professors in the world.
• The 23,000 who passed the course represent more students than most
faculty will teach in their career.
• Out of the 200 Stanford students attending the traditional course, only
41 were in class at the end of the course.
• The other 159 opted for the online asynchronous presentation.

• 410 online students outperformed the top Stanford student!
• Students themselves translated the class for free from English
into 44 languages.
• The on-campus passing rate was the highest ever.
