This analysis highlights the transition from product-based to process-focused education in physics, stressing new assessment methods.
Generative AI can now solve the vast majority of physics problems a typical student will encounter until the end of a master’s course. As the cost of producing correct answers approaches zero, physics education must pivot from valuing the “product” to valuing the “process.” This shift requires a reimagining of how we teach, assess, and verify understanding.
