UN report exposes climate ambition gulf, #COP30 must now respond
“This report is a fire alarm for the planet, but governments keep hitting the snooze button and falling back to sleep. COP30 must be the moment the world wakes up and acts before the house burns down.”

I will start teaching my students how to use AI when my colleagues in computer science start to teach Homer, Dante, Langston Hughes, Borges, Foucault, Audre Lord, Spivak, and Donna Haraway in their classes
I realize many people don’t quite get that not every single professor in every single university teaches computer science and might actually be trained in and invested in teaching other things, like let’s say, history? Or poetry.
Or sociology.
It is not our job to teach students how to use AI.

If you don’t teach your students how to use AI, you’re doing them a huge disservice because they won’t have jobs in the future.
