I'm in The Crimson today asking Harvard to "reboot" our relationship with AI by: matching investments in AI with investments in reading and writing; (re)constructing "analog" education infrastructure; and developing regulations from the bottom up (incl. departments and faculty committees).

This is a great editorial! I always find it difficult to narrow the focus to one topic when it comes to AI, and your intro pulls that off really elegantly. Possibly of interest: I'm part of the Critical AI Working Group at Penn, and we just put out an editorial touching on some of the same ideas.

This is terrific. I didn't get into our writing program, but it's the KEY moment when the university can articulate the value of writing. Well done. I hope your administration listen!
