No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is the question. There’s nothing that catches university administrators’ attention more than shiny new tools that supposedly save money, but actually don’t.
The question that faculty in 2024 should be asking is not, “How do we stop our students from using AI?”
The much more urgent question should be, “How do we prevent our administrators from paying outrageous sums for AI, or trying to integrate it into any facet of institutional instruction?”

OpenAI also said “it will host a meeting in October with presidents and provosts of leading higher education institutions to discuss how to adopt AI effectively and responsibly in a university setting, including for teaching and advancing academic research.” 😩
