Open Letter collecting signatures: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of #AI Technologies in #Academia (25 June 2025).

"With this letter we take a principled stand against the proliferation of so-called 'AI' technologies in universities. As an educational institution, we cannot condone the uncritical use of AI by students, faculty, or leadership. We also call for reconsidering any direct financial relationships between Dutch universities and AI companies."

I'm glad someone is fighting the good fight. It's becoming more and more obvious that the prevalence of these tool in academic circles may cause more harm than good.
