It’s disappointing to see the California Faculty Association’s resolution governing the use of AI. It’s the wrong approach. Putting aside the efficiency gains of potentially streamlining administrative tasks and reducing faculty workload, this resolution totally ignores the potential for AI-assisted teaching that could help make teaching more personalized and accessible. It doesn’t even talk about the benefits of AI as a complementary tool and seems to seek an outright ban instead of doing the work to figure out how it can be used ethically rather than as a replacement for human thought and reasoning.
