The role of the University is to resist AI

Dan McQuillan: The role of the University is to resist AI. 22.6.25. Online auf [https://danmcquillan.org/cpct_seminar.html danmcquillan.org] (8.7.25)

• Jahre des Neoliberalismus haben die Schule zu etwas homogens, vermessenes und maschinelles gemacht
• Ed Tech behauptet seit Jahren, dass Lernen nichts beziehungsorientiertes ist
• Wir sind mitten in einem riesigen sozialen Experiment mit einer Technologie, dessen Vorgehn unvorhersehbar und undurchsichtig ist
• KI simmulierte eine Zusammenfassung, versucht mit Massen von Material Relevanz herzustellen

This means that AI is actually a giant material infrastructure with huge demands for energy, water and concrete, while the supply chain for specialised computer chips is entangled with geopolitical conflict. It also means that the AI industry will beg, borrow and steal, or basically just steal, all the text, images and audio that it can get its spidery hands on. [...]

However, where AI is undoubtedly successful is as a shock doctrine, as a way to further precaritise workers and privatise services. [...]

Critical thought is not something you can stochastically optimise, and I agree with Hannah Arendt that thoughtlessness is a precondition for fascism. [...]

I'm proposing that the role of the university is to resist AI, that is, to apply rigorous questioning to the idea that AI is inevitable.

Schlusssatz: "The role of the university isn't to roll over in the face of tall tales about technological inevitability, but to model the forms of critical pedagogy that underpin the social defence against authoritarianism and which makes space to reimagine the other worlds that are still possible."
