This is what they wrote about AI in April: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

2/Cars are a useful comparison for thinking about technology adoption, because they are powerful, dangerous, and common. In just over a century, we moved from the first mass-produced car to about 1.2 billion cars on the road.

Also, if this is just not a question or issue you had ever thought about, I recommend this post from @maiamindel.bsky.social

17/ OK, this got very long. My point is that I think we need more coordinated approaches to rethink how we want to work with AI, especially in institutions that shape knowledge/skills. Leadership at universities should tackle this as an institutional challenge, and timing matters.
[END]

16/ I do think we should worry about how AI might evolve, we must stay mindful of its current limitations, we should demand more from policymakers and AI companies. But adoption isn’t waiting. For universities in particular, the time to thoughtfully engage with AI is now.

15/ I think an underlying issue is the gap in the public conversation that leaves people who could shape how AI is integrated into daily life feeling disempowered. Discourse swings between two extremes: AI is either dangerously powerful or disappointingly limited and can only make us dumber.

14/ I see this in higher ed too. We're spending much more preventing/catching plagiarism, than redesigning how students practice, reflect, and build expertise with AI.
Similarly, peer-reviewed journals seem on an unsustainable path: paper writing is getting easier with AI, but paper review isn’t.

13/ My children's homework looks much like mine did decades ago. Yet even my 10yo daughter, who doesn't have a phone or tablet, knows she can ask me to use ChatGPT for homework help. And her teachers, too, sometimes use ChatGPT to come up with the homework.

12/ Teachers already use AI to create material; students already use it to complete assignments. But institutions rarely rethink what education *is* with AI. We should be reexamining how we teach, learn, delegate tasks, to avoid replicating old patterns with new tools.

11/ We definitely need regulation, policies, guardrails, etc. But in my view there’s also a critical gap that the current user base can help fill now, in how AI is integrated into workflows and life. Education shows this clearly.
