Texas Tech University uses AI to enforce state law on curriculum
What happened
Texas Tech University is using artificial intelligence to help the university root out suspected "woke" texts from its curriculum. This move is in response to a state law requiring academia to represent that there are only two genders, male and female. The university's use of the AI chatbot has caused roughly a quarter of the university's staff to look for work elsewhere, and staff members have noted that the AI sometimes mischaracterizes perspectives or invents reasons for excluding material.
