When AI can draft a literature review in minutes, the question bioprocess educators can no longer avoid is this: what does a student actually need to learn? Steffen Kreye has a clear answer. As Professor of Industrial Biotechnology at Berliner Hochschule für Technik, he trains engineers who step into industry ready to run a bioreactor, not just describe one. His argument is direct: hands-on lab competence is the one thing AI cannot replicate, and it is exactly what underfunding is quietly ero...
