via the report published by MIT’s Ad Hoc Committee on AI Use in Teaching, Learning, and Research Training:
“MIT should use this moment to ask what forms of presence, collaboration, mentorship, and shared intellectual life are essential to residential education – and then design AI policies, pedagogies, and research practices that strengthen them rather than allow their erosion, replacement, or collapse.”

Like the people of Albert Camus’s Oran, we are understandably reluctant to recognize just how much the world has changed. The problems are thorny, complex and tedious, and it’s easier to look away. So we holiday on beaches while wildfires rage; we ask A.I. how to train a new puppy, how to write that letter — to do our thinking for us. We hope that the wars will end, that the guardrails, institutions and alliances will be rebuilt, and that the world as we understand it will recover and endure.
