The whole concept of ethics and AI continues to dominate discussion, so much so that when someone complains about "shaky foundations of just accepting the 'tech bros magic and misdirection'" I begin to question their credibility. I mean, has any technology been more criticized? Outside of Clippy, I mean? I'm desperately looking for something new in all these reflections, but I'm getting "read the privacy statement, "whose labour is the model built-on", and "develop the ability to critique the outputs." I think the fear is that students won't be like us, or rather, the idealized us. As Simon Buckingham-Shum describes it, "we hope all students will develop as the foundation for lifelong learning: curiosity, agency, sensemaking, a desire to find their own voice, resilience (shock, even enjoyment!) of not-knowing, and working their way through the mess towards comprehension, breakthrough, coherence, beauty." Maybe if the grind of higher education weren't the barrier before the possibility of a decent life, students would be more generous with their ideals.
