AI Is Giving Educators Time Back: Rethinking the Role of Technology in Higher Education
Petar Mihaylov, Business Consultant, on The Recursive Article, September 8, 2026
A recent article by The Recursive explores how artificial intelligence is changing the way university lecturers prepare teaching and assessment materials – and what this means for the future of their work.
In a new episode of Zone4Tech, Mladen Georgiev, CTO, and Peter Mihaylov, Business Consultant at MY Synergy, discuss how AI is transforming higher education — from automation to personalized learning.
The article features perspectives from educators alongside a real-world example from MY Synergy and the Faculty of Pharmacy at the Medical University of Pleven, where a specialised AI solution has been developed and implemented to support lecturers in creating exam questions, tests, case studies, and other student assessment materials.
As Petar Mihaylov, Business Consultant at MY Synergy, explains:
“The idea is not for AI to replace the professor, but to give them more time for the work where their expertise really matters.”
By reducing the time spent on repetitive preparation, AI can allow educators to focus more of their attention on students, research, academic development, and the activities that depend on human expertise and judgement.
For MY Synergy, this is an important principle behind the application of AI in higher education: technology should not replace the educator, but give them more time to educate.
The project at the Medical University of Pleven demonstrates how this approach can move from an AI concept to a practical solution integrated into the everyday work of a university.
