But none of that is inevitable. A grassroots movement is growing among those determined to resist the proliferation of AI in schools. The Civics of Technology Project, founded in 2022 by educators and researchers, wants to instead have administrators, teachers, students and parents prioritize studying “the collateral, disproportionate, and unexpected effects of technology”—including AI. One option is to imagine, and work to bring about, an alternative future in which AI doesn’t dominate. “There are ways that teachers, caregivers and students, too, can say, ‘Well, what if I don’t want to have to use this technology?’” said Charles Logan, a research fellow at Northwestern University and a board member for the Civics of Technology Project.

ALIENATED INTELLIGENCE: THROUGH META RAY BAN GLASSES DARKLY
Part II of What ChatGPT Can't Say, LANGUAGE AS PERCEPTION
in which I return to Vegas for another AI conference; am led on a wild goose chase by the Mother of AI to find Geoffrey Hinton, the Godfather of AI; and invent a new liberatory verb tense to the great amazement of my technical colleagues.

Why we need Social Paper – CUNY Academic Commons
Personally, I always thought the culture of student essays was rotting our brains, but what do I know. Look at baby student me giving it to the man way back in 2015: commons.gc.cuny.edu/papers/45249/ I will duck in case you debunk! 😀👷♀️🙏
