75 voices worth reading on AI and university teaching, 46 of them named people rather than institutions — and 46 of them have contributed something already sitting in this library.
The balance is deliberate. A watchlist that only agreed with itself would not be worth reading.

The argument
With more than 80 percent of students already using AI for schoolwork, should schools block it in the classroom, and what should universities do about the students that produces?
Ray SchroederEnthusiast
The bans are a mistake. Cutting students off from the tools their future workplaces use protects neither critical thinking nor safety, and higher education should respond not with more prohibition but by training K-12 boards, administrators and teachers through continuing education so districts can build workable policy of their own.
Zohran Mamdani and Kamar Samuels, New York City Public SchoolsSkeptic
A one-year moratorium for the youngest students is the responsible path. The district is discontinuing the AI components of more than 38 approved programs that do not meet new safety and oversight standards, citing the protection of critical thinking and of student-teacher relationships, and the moratorium buys time to set those standards properly.
The two positions share more than the headlines suggest: both treat the status quo of unsupervised student AI use as unacceptable. They differ on whether the response is control or preparation, and the decision that actually faces a university this term is narrower than either — what to assume about the first-year intake, whose school AI experience now ranges from daily tutor use to an explicit district ban depending on where they went to school. That assumption has to be made course by course, and it is worth making explicitly rather than by accident.
The voices
Tile colour is the source's stance, the bar along the bottom is how much of this library came from them, and the headings group them by stance. None of it is a ranking. Every tile also states its stance and kind in words, so nothing here depends on seeing colour.
