Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

We knew this would happen. Note how realistic the visuals and voices are. This AI deepfake video of Catherine Connolly ‘withdrawing’ from presidential contest and that Friday’s poll is ‘cancelled’ is live and viral on Facebook tonight. 1000s watching, commenters believing it.

Dr Eamon Costello is also focused on tech but he makes the point that it's just part of a rich panoply of
experiences that are essential in an educational setting..
"You can use tech as a teaching tool, to differentiate instruction, to get diagnositic information from student, to figure out of they're learning what they're being taught"
