This article surveys people at U.S. educational institutions about their experience and perspective on generative AI and chatGPT in particular. "Far from arriving at a consensus, institutional stakeholders are still forming opinions about generative AI." That said, I don't find it plausible that (as the survey reports) people in the C-suite are the most knowledgeable and experienced with the technology; that runs counter to all my other experience involving technology and senior administration. I also found the list of "institutional areas... impacted by generative AI" to be very limited, seeing that it doesn't include things like textbook authoring, instructional design, individual assessment, etc. (and surprisingly 22% of respondents did not think it would affect IT at the institution).
