There’s a lot of doom & gloom around how AI is affecting higher education.
To a certain extent, I get it. AI is making some things harder.
But I’ve found that AI has in some ways greatly enhanced my teaching.
For one, it’s opened up applied activities that weren’t possible before.

"Academics" whose main goal is to tick boxes to advance their career have AI doing the box ticking for them.
It's turning life into terrible computer game where to maximise careerists "score", all the fun bits are delegated to AI, leaving people to deal with the worst consequences of management.

“AI will kill us all” is how the tech industry, especially rich people in it, avoid talking about real world problems—ones they’re causing, exacerbating, or neglecting—while still thinking themselves good.
“I’m better than all that,” they say. “I got high with my friends and BSed about the future.”

AI increasing volume of grants so AI needs to assess grant applications
AI writing more journal articles so AI needs to review them
AI being used by students, AI needed for grading
Doesn’t really end well for our profession does it??

The “Nonexistent” Research on AI’s Benefits for Education
Colleges are going all in on artificial intelligence. But it could be a long time before independent research emerges on how it should—or shouldn’t—be used to improve learning outcomes.

I say all of this not because I believe AI has no costs for higher education. It certainly does!
But it also has some benefits.
