I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I think AI issues are manifesting in very different ways based on the kinds of institutions, the disciplines we're in, etc. But a lot seems tied together by the ways we've set up failure as something to be feared, utterly, and this was already a huge problem before the arrival of ChatGPT etc
"Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a saviour. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection. Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead."
