“…Pitt faculty are asking pointed questions about what AI means for higher ed beyond another layer of bureaucracy…Yes, Pitt was the first university to secure an institution-wide agreement for Anthropic’s Claude for Education, back in October, but important change will come through faculty innovation.”
Hollis Robbins, “Pittsburgh, Austin, the Cosmos, and the Local”
“In an interview with The Pitt News, Robbins elaborated on what she believes are the flaws in higher education that are being exposed by AI…adding that there is a false perception that blue-collar work is incompatible with being an intellectual.
“‘Why would you think just because you work in a mine, you’re not going to like Dickens?’ Robbins said. ‘Somehow, our education system has produced this elitist idea that you have to go to college to be interested in interesting things.’”
