#AcademicFedi

After an initial round to scope interest and shape direction on @CriticAI , the following stood out:

1. there's a lot to say on how #AI is used in #Academia / #HE and its short and long-term implications,
2. there's a willingness for people to share their thoughts and experience in a caring environment;
3. there's little clarity or consensus when it comes to the specifics.

To address these items, during the last weeks of October, I will be facilitating 2 online and independent meetings and an asynchronous "meeting" aimed at codesigning this community.
