Thank you for your article. I get that our higher ed methods of teaching are unchanged and need to change. I also get and agree that deep learning can enhance like you write. What I don't understand (yet) is how faculty actually do incorporate such tools in a wide range of classes, from learning how to write to learning plant genetics (my area) to design fields. Faculty and administration may be afraid of it because they simply don't know how to implement it. Yes, feeling afraid of learning something new is one thing but even for those who want to learn, its not clear how to effectively use this and still keep the process human. What direction do you suggest?

Thanks Paul. You are absolutely right that we need to bridge the (pretty substantial) gap between strategic possibilities with generative AI and the realities in the classroom. Institutions with limited experience and resources working with data and digital technologies have a long way to go here. But I suspect organizations like ASU will pretty soon lead the way with actionable examples from the classroom.
