Episode notes
AI As The Ultimate Disruptor
- Scott Anthony believes AI will likely be the biggest disruptor of our lifetime due to its pervasive impact on knowledge creation and transmission.
- Generative AI's strength with words directly intersects with the core purpose of universities and knowledge work.
Disclose AI Use In Published Work
- Follow your publisher's AI rules and never present AI-generated content as original without disclosure and consent.
- Publishers worry about copyright and originality, so be transparent when using AI in book work.
Use AI For Brainstorming Only
- Use AI to brainstorm and expand thinking but own the research and final writing yourself.
- Treat AI as a creative sparring partner for titles, themes, and idea generation rather than a writing shortcut.
