The greatest risk of AI in higher education isn't cheating—it's the erosion of learning itself Public debate about artificial intelligence in higher education has largely orbited a familiar worry: cheating. Will students use chatbots to write essays? Can instructors tell? Should universities ba...

Academische vrijheid wordt wereldwijd bedreigd door rechtsextremisme en @nrc.nl publiceert doodleuk een opiniestuk dat stelt "Linkse dominantie op de universiteit ondergraaft vertrouwen in wetenschap." We leven in een omgekeerde wereld.
