via the report published by MIT’s Ad Hoc Committee on AI Use in Teaching, Learning, and Research Training:
“Students need to believe that doing the work themselves is in their self-interest. It will take more than top-down AI use policies to inspire that conviction. As a community, we need to cultivate a campus culture in which (1) AI restrictions that instructors impose clearly support student learning, personal growth, and professional success; and (2) students have a shared culture that values and fosters residential learning and discourages excessive reliance on AI.”

That countries are already adjusting, for better and worse. And that any future of cooperation will have to look different.
