AI & Universities

Mary Meeker, Bond, Jul 09, 2024

This (17 page PDF) is Mary Meeker's first public report in four years, and it is a pale shadow of the comprehensive coverage she has offered in the past. The focus is mostly on the opportunity AI brings to education. " bringing AI to learning and teaching requires what Sal Khan calls 'educated bravery'," she writes. "AI creates once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for evolution, creativity and leadership... Our universities and regulators have a responsibility to rapidly and deeply understand the global stakes that AI presents for freedom, democratic values, good and evil…and take strong stands." All this is true, but I really miss the depth and subtlety of the old Mary Meeker.
