In a previous post I mentioned in passing the idea that universities, if they want to remain relevant, will need to adopt an AI-first position for everything they do.

Yesterday I saw this tweet from Enrico Coiera: So I downloaded the editorial and noted these sections: Through the Internet, the public has access to a growing supply of information on health and disease, often of variable quality and relevance.

A few days ago I wrote about employing technology in classrooms and how we need to make sure that it’s appropriate technology and not being used just because we can. I felt at the time that it probably wasn’t a good idea for students to have their own machines in front of them because of…
