Bias risks: AI can amplify inequalities, like mislabeling non-native English writing as AI-generated. Privacy concerns: Schools face rising cyberattacks, and data misuse risks are high. Accountability: Human oversight is crucial to prevent over-reliance on AI.
AI is designed to make people not think. But why study philosophy at university if you don't want to think - if you don't want to sharpen your critical abilities - and instead outsource them to a mindless AI program?

Ask any instructor what helps students learn, and it's unlikely any of them will answer "a really big wall of text". It's incredible to me, as both a university instructor and a UX designer, that the army of people working at OpenAI are not imagining better tools for our students.

L&D programs are becoming more complex. Many learning and Instructional Designers manage hybrid, remote, and in-person training sessions all at once. Sending reminders, handling cancellations, and coordinating schedules can quickly become overwhelming.

It can lead to missed sessions, instructor conflicts, and underutilized resources. These issues affect both learners and the success of your programs.
When Abby Fagerlin tried logging into Canvas, a popular educational technology platform, to check on her assignments Monday morning, she couldn't get in. That meant the 19-year-old college sophomore, who is studying physics at Pasadena City College, was unable to access materials she needed for her three classes, which were hosted on or linked through the learning management system. After searching online, she realized the Amazon Web Services outage that crippled much of the internet Monday had also temporarily taken down Canvas.
