JUST FYI POD: IDEAS: "Higher Ed in the ChatGPT Era, Part VI: "*Why* Have Universities Embraced AI in the Classroom?"

The main task of JUST FYI POD: IDEAS’ third season is to discuss: “Higher Ed in the ChatGPT Era: How Did We Get Here? Where Is It Going?” On today’s episode, my cohost Clark Elliston and I will explore the topic: “Why Have Universities Embraced AI in the Classroom?” As usual, this is a wide-ranging discussion, which will touch on a variety of topics, including data on the prevalence of AI in higher ed, student perceptions of (and fears about!) generative AI, and the increasing “mission drift” of the university in an era of cost-cutting efficiency and techno-fatalism.Please visit JUST FYI (cbarnett.substack.com) for more details and much more content.
