To make a request on pulling back on the amount of lectures and seminars we have on AI, especially in the arts courses. Especially when the technology is unstable and when it's in the hands of CEOs that fund and support fascism/censorship. And to mention that it's bringing us to the brink of water bankruptcy. Yet, there's never been any mention of those problems unless a student brings it up first and no mention of the CEOs illegal deeds behind the curtains.
Why is it relevant to Falmouth & Exeter students?
We are the younger generation. With more persuasion coming to us like this should be a debatable topic especially in this stage in time is concerning and ignorant. The CEOs that run the technology are supporters and funders of Donald Trump and previously were mutuals with Jeffrey Epstein, plus explicit content from their doing on Twitter that I will not go into detail of, but sources below will explain, all of this is proven fact and not to be confused with the word 'political', it's violation of rights and privacy. I feel with all the truth out in the sunlight, we are still sane-washing the technology and being taught it like it's simply just a 'new way' and a recommendation of an extra tool to use like there's nothing flawed about it (I feel that also fuels the propaganda the ultra-wealthy want to shove on us and we are falling for it). That is giving ignorance in my view. With more encouragement to students to think more for themselves and make an effort to put time into their work and research, there wouldn't be shrinking attention spans which is the CEOs pure intention. It's all for profit and a game of monopoly, it's not for our wellbeing and I believe we need to be taught that more instead of just the apps potentials themselves when there's too much instability to trust it. Sources below prove my statement that we should only start promoting AI when laws are more effective and when it isn't in the hands of dangerous far-right agendas:

What positive impact would it have?
Students would have more enthusiasm in researching for the correct sources rather than get more lazy and rely on ChatGPT and GenAI to help them study which again are both run by CEOs who fund fascism. Students would be encouraged more to keep human-art alive and not be overwhelmed by the rapid technology advancement where it would persuade them to give up. Whatever lesson on AI comes to light, less advertisement on the potentials of the app, but more about the warning signs and the dangers it causes due to who controls it. So far very little to zero mention of it. Especially the amount of water it uses. We can't fight climate change and then talk about AI with a sense of ignorance behind how we get taught it and how we are being persuaded that in this point in time it should be a debatable subject.
