Robot-Proof: Higher Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Joseph E. Aoun
3.0
I started this for a discussion group at work that didn’t transition online and finished it because it bothered me to have it half read.
After reading several dozen think pieces about the death and/or irrelevance of the humanities over the last decade, I was glad that Aoun (with a background in linguistics and literature himself) had a place for them in humanics. That being said, I would have been satisfied if this were an article, but I expect more from a book. I am a theory person, but when I realized it offered little practical application, the second half just seemed to rehash the first.
