Things to bear in mind when talking about Al ... some notes for the critically-minded Link to PDF: criticaledtech.com/wp-content/u...
9 talking points about engaging in AI criticism - link to full PDF in post ... black page with white writing and bright yellow headlines. The 9 talking points are:

#1. Are you really talking about Al? (part 1)
#2. Are you really talking about Al? (part 1)
#3. There is a lot more to Al than GenAl
#4. Al has a 70-year history ... and a 70-year history of critique
#5. We need to talk about 'actually existing' Al
#6. Your own experiences of using Al do not give you any particular expertise to talk about how other people experience and/or should be using Al
#7. One does not have to have 'built Al' in order to have opinions about the societal application of Al
#8. If we're going to be critical then we need to be constructively critical
#9. Other Al is possible!

I recall the astonishment at a College senior management meeting at the consultants (PwC as I recall) who must have been barely into their thirties, if that, with next to zero experience of universities beyond their time as undergrads. They got a drubbing - sadly to little effect ultimately.
