There are two key statements in this article. The first is that "the whole point of Higher Education is to allow students to reflect on themselves and the world." Now I would use the word 'develop' or 'grow', but the point is essentially the same: education isn't about grades and innovation and all that measurable stuff, it's about something more personal. The second is that "at the end of the day, I'm studying for my own benefit, and I know that studying with genAI is better than studying without it." This is my thinking as well. In a conversation this morning I said that the way to improve education is to improve agency, and AI is something that (greatly) improves agency.
