In this critical briefing, we confront “The Agentic Trap.” Moving beyond AI as a simple drafting tool, higher education now faces autonomous systems capable of logging into platforms, completing coursework, and generating complex behavioral records without human input. We analyze new reporting from California and the UK, detailing the serious risk this poses not just to academic integrity, but to the very foundation of the educational record. Discover what agentic AI means for online learning compliance, why sovereign AI infrastructure is essential, and how institution leaders must audit their systems to ensure verified human learning remains central.
