Examining the influence of AI in higher education

“Know your enemy” seems to be the new approach to artificial intelligence.At first, academic institutions reacted to AI with fear and concern. Now, AI is being integrated and accepted across universities.Last year, the California State University System entered into a contract with OpenAI to provide students, faculty and staff with ChatGPT Edu. The contract was recently renewed despite many students and professor encouraging the university not to continue the deal.Just recently, here in Ohio, the University of Cincinnati did the same, offering BearcatGPT to all their students and faculty for free.Ohio State University is no exception. The AI Fluency initiative is in full swing and has recently broadened into the Arts and Humanities AI Institute.Should universities conform to AI in academic spaces? What are the potential negative consequences of AI use in higher education?We're taking a deep dive into the subject of AI's impact on higher education on this hour of All Sides.Guests:Linda Kinstler, reporter, New York TimesChris Coleman, director, Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design, Ohio StateMartha Kenney, women and gender studies professor, San Francisco State UniversityMartha Lincoln, anthropology professor, San Francisco State University
