How do we prevent our students, the former upper-secondary pupils, from taking the GAI shortcut, bypassing the hard work of learning and leaving our programmes with artificial (intelligent) competencies that can be switched off at the flick of a switch? asks Associate Professor Mikkel H. S. Marqvorsen, who is calling for action from both the senior management team and the Centre for Educational Development (CED).

Students and alumni at Cognitive Science urge the Senior Management Team to reopen the decision to convert the Bachelor’s programme in Cognitive Science to Danish.

Her appeal is that AU must do a better job of accommodating students who are different.

The opening of the University City was the culmination of a project that has lasted more than a decade. It was a manifestation of Aarhus University's ambitions – and not least, it was an opportunity to feel proud of the role our university plays in society," writes Rector Brian Bech Nielsen in his column.

When management puts forward decisions in a way that obscures who made said decision, it prevents dialogue between the decision-maker and those affected by it, writes Søren Schrøder Richel, a theology student and member of the Board of Studies for Theology. But even worse is the fact that it prevents students and teaching staff from having any influence on degree programmes.

Artificial intelligence is making inroads at Aarhus University with virtually no opposition. This naivety regarding AI is unacceptable, writes PhD student Anders Haagerup, who has launched a new network for AI criticism at AU.

Research-based innovation is part of AU’s new strategy – and it makes perfect sense, writes Anne-Mette Hvas, Dean of the Faculty of Health.
