From what I understand, the AI is going from 178 to 183 for the 2018 class. The move was made to recalibrate for the ACT producing what have been seen as inflated AI scores. At least that's what I remember the argument as.
You can envision that as a couple point increase in the ACT or 50 point increase in the SAT. And while it will minorly hurt the league as a whole, it will have an outsized impact on those teams that could fish a lot at the floor and relative benefits for teams that were restricted in the numbers they could take at the floor.
