To come up with a good AI policy for a university, one first has to have an idea of which skills and formative experiences they are prepared to lose for the sake of AI use, and which ones they will fight to retain. And it’s here that we have discovered that consensus is most importantly lacking.

We prepare them to be exploited by those with money & power rather than to shape their own future.
