"Universities are sleep walking," says George Siemens. "I'm surprised that AI is generally being treated as peripheral. Higher education should be in a panic...or a frantic race to adopt and deploy this fascinating technology." I think that's quite right. It's why I have spent a lifetime talking about networks and connections. But I don't agree that AI is the only thing. Yes, AI touches everything else. But the things it touches also matter in their own right. That's why I persist in this newsletter in covering a wide range of topics, everything from the fediverse to the study of consciousness to cryptography to community. Image: Tachyon.
