The rise of AI in research and higher education and the administration’s actions are born from the same cultural trends: the devaluing of authentic human curiosity in favor of a single voice of authority, maximizing efficiency and usefulness in the generation and curation of knowledge. It’s no coincidence that the same administration pushing for increased AI usage in education is also pursuing government takeover of universities. These problems lead to the same end: Academics will cease to make the decisions about what sort of questions to ask, research to do, and concepts to teach.
