"Our students—and others in their AI-skeptical generation—are thoughtful moral agents who have used their capacity for critical reflection to arrive at compelling and deeply felt moral objections to using generative AI in their university work." #RefuseAI
"The class atmosphere became tense as more students pushed back against this required use of generative AI. They wanted to know what their classmates thought rather than what a large language model produced in response to prompting; they wanted to wrestle with difficult readings and complex ideas"
Students as Conscientious Objectors to Gen AI (opinion)
We should listen to them—and treat their objections with respect.

With media this determined to avoid the issues that truly matter, we're gonna need to highlight the fossil fuel-prolonging, planet-cooking, knowledge-degrading AI tech ourselves

The teacher training courses launched by OpenAI this week are the necessary next step - programs to habituate teachers to its tech, and ultimately enable OpenAI to become infrastructural to schools. Hopefully teachers treat it with the disinterest they have historically shown to most edtech. 3/3

This week I heard, from a stage, in praise of AI
"One teacher said 'It's given me my weekends back', all because of the GenAI"
People, in less than 6 months, that teacher will be back working weekends and using GenAI, because tools don't fix culture, people fix culture. #RefuseAI

Whereas the bots will maintain a fixed pattern. Eventually we get a two tier system, the cheap bot students, and elite private education that is crafted by “artisanal thinking teaching” adapting and supporting their students. #RefuseAI

AIの「キルスイッチ」義務化も検討すべき アンソロピック共同創業者がBBCに話す - BBCニュース
人工知能（AI）に、第三者がチェック可能な「キルスイッチ」（強制停止機能）を搭載することを、開発企業に義務付ける必要があるかもしれない――。そうした考えを、世界最大級のAI企業の共同創業者の1人がBBCの番組で述べた。AIの急速な発展と、それが人類にもたらすリスクに対する懸念について、AI企業の幹部やスタッフが相次ぎ警告を発しており、一気に注目されている。
