Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has allocated $10 million to Nvidia for developing training programs in artificial intelligence at colleges. The initiative aims to equip students for the workforce while fostering responsible use of AI. Critics raise concerns over AI's negative effects, including lower literacy levels and potential misuse by students. Some argue that the tech industry's promotion of AI is overly enthusiastic, emphasizing the need for responsible engagement with the emerging technology. The balance between competitiveness in the tech sector and ethical education practices is crucial for Oregon's future.
Earlier this year, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek approved $10 million to throw at a multi-billion-dollar company leading the artificial intelligence revolution: Nvidia.
Academics say we can't hide from the technology, but we can be responsible in how we approach it, which is what's needed in Oregon's case.
Using AI has been linked to lower literacy levels, not to mention the use of chat bots and other generative AI tools that students use to cheat or write essays.
Critics speculate the hype around AI has largely been drummed up by the tech companies who profit from it.
