The main critiques I've been hearing are "too much surveillance," not "the quality won't be better." .Yes this is the point. Under the current system the quality is poor but nobody checks under the hood, really. Students and taxpayers pay the price.
In which I set out a plan for delivering the CSU's GE curriculum by AI, from competency map to system architecture to project-based learning system to assessment, human mentorship, & governance/ethics protocols. It's all in the details.

Does this seem huge and complicated? No more than the current structure of thousands of human teachers of widely varying qualifications, thousands of classrooms, hundreds of millions of dollars, an alarming non-completion rate, and an epic lack of quality control.

The crisis of "belonging" on college campuses may have more to do with housing than with academics. Fascinating data here:
collegetowns.org
The rise of purpose-built student accommodations and commodification of studenthood in college towns.

"The hand-wringers would claim the mantle of intellectuals – they are not expressing fear but embodying an intellectual tradition, seeing AI as a threat to academic integrity, pedagogical quality, and humanistic values." .

Readers like "takes," yes. I am asking question like "Is embracing AI intellectual or anti-intellectual?" (in the Richard Hofstadter sense), which I hope push things forward a bit.

In the past 2.5+ years I have seen vast improvement in AI models while NYT think pieces on these AI models have stayed exactly the same. Explain. The "overhearing" of students confessing to using ChatGPT to write their papers is the new Thomas Friedman talking to cab drivers.

I do wonder why my fellow humanists are anxious and abrasive about AI when humans remain the more interesting technology.

This. Exactly.
let's consider this dilemma from another perspective: if you are a runner, you run; if you run, it's because you choose to run, & are energized or in some way enhanced by running. if you ask at AI to run in your place while you just sit at home, to what purpose?.either you run,.

And this by @jakebackpack !.
Personally, I recommend a little joint about Real Estate, highway development, the exploitation of the Marcellus Shale Formation, and, of course, the Lord Our God.

Almost all Mars fiction is business fiction when you think about it.

Great piece. Also, the best place to look for business novels is in the science fiction section. Andy Wier's "The Martian" is a business novel at heart, as is China Mieville's "Scar." Several by Neal Stephenson and Kim Stanley Robinson.
My latest column: The just-published novel "Drayton and Mackenzie" makes a compelling case for why business deserves more literary attention, says @adwooldridge

The answer to @jennfrey's concern about teaching wisdom from the past is to make it relevant to the future. Read Middlemarch in the lab, Aristotle in your flying car.

Students want to study the humanities and liberal arts. But university administrators keep getting in the way.
