Answering a question about AI disruption, @monasloane.bsky.social points out how her students are struggling on the job market right now. They're the ones sending out hundreds of resumes, which is another reason to listen to them about AI.

More findings from @monasloane.bsky.social: Student participation in university administration has declined over the last 30 years.

Students are "digital natives" and "AI experts in their own right." [I have issues with those claims.] We need their voices in these discussions. [Hear, hear.]

Now @monasloane.bsky.social is pivoting to teaching and students. "We are all AI experts now," she wrote here: medium.com/@monasloane/.... That is, students are actively exploring and gaining expertise in how to use AI in their studies.

The social impact of AI is real. We need to understand the everyday use of AI to get a better picture of how we can prevent AI harm.

Keynote: @monasloane.bsky.social says AI is a scaling technology, a social infrastructure (just there, like electrical infrastructure), a material culture, a valuation practice (changing the social status of jobs), and AI is power.
