I want to preface this comments by asserting that not everyone is driven by fear. In some societies, this may be the dominant driver, but in many (and I'd like to include my own) people are motivated as much by hope, a desire to help, ambition for the future, and even the sheer joy of things. So there are other responses to AI and technology than just fear. Now having said that, I should mention that Alexandra Mihai's main point here is to argue that "If we want to support students in developing certain skills, we need to do it intentionally, through course and task design, not by conditioning their classroom experience. And here I mean either by forcing them to use AI or by forcing them to switch off their devices." An intentional response, in other words, rather than the all-or-nothing approach so common in educational circles. I endorse this, with the caveat that we should not be limiting our imagination to courses and classrooms. The world is so much larger.
