In the face of an upswelling AI presence that threatens to bypass genuine engagement, we must reimagine how we connect by crafting dialogues that acknowledge both the possibilities and pitfalls of AI within our learning environments. Len is a chemist-turned-consultant working at the intersection of AI and higher education.
