Where Tech Meets the Soul: Bowdoin's AI Plan Gets $50M Kickstart from Netflix Legend Hastings | TechRepublic
Briefly

Reed Hastings, co-founder of Netflix, generously donated $50 million to Bowdoin College, launching the Hastings Initiative for AI and Humanity. This initiative prioritizes a human-centered examination of artificial intelligence's impacts on society, economy, and creativity rather than focusing solely on technical skills. The program aims to prepare students as future leaders capable of addressing the ethical and practical implications of AI. Bowdoin plans to hire new faculty and support faculty in integrating AI inclusively into curricula, fostering a culture of critical inquiry surrounding AI's evolving role in the world.
We aim to develop leaders who can be 'at home' in both the present and future technological landscape.
