I often get asked, “Which AI tools do you use?” and just as often, “Why do you use so many different ones?” It’s a fair question—especially since most people I talk to are relying on just one or two AI tools for everything, whether it's writing, research, brainstorming, or automation. And most of those folks are only using ChatGPT.

Inside Higher Ed's recent article "Making Space for Student Sorrow Over AI" really struck a chord with me. It highlights something I see often in my work: the emotional tension AI can create in higher education, especially when it comes to creativity, identity, and the future of work.

Since the release of the latest Dear Colleague letter, there has been no shortage of analysis, debate, and concern across higher education. And rightfully so.

Artificial Intelligence is undoubtedly reshaping education, the workforce, and society at large.

From our team to yours, much love every day of the year, but especially today!
