Bryan Alexander shares about Peak Higher Ed on episode 604 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast

Quotes from the episode

"The problem of how do we actually figure out what people are doing with AI within post secondary education? That's a really great challenge because if you polled people, they have all kinds of great incentives to not respond accurately." - Bryan Alexander

“It’s another form of thinking, it’s another form of organizing information and that we have to treat it seriously as such. The computer scientist actually recommends that we think about generative AI as children. These are AIs that have some degree of autonomy and they’re also not very wise in the world yet, and we have to train and rear them up.”
– Bryan Alexander

“So if AI is bubble, if it turns out to be a bubble and it pops, this might be bad news for the entire economy.”
– Bryan Alexander
