Dear Commons Community,
Joseph Aoun, President of Northeastern University, has just published a 2nd edition of his book, Robot Proof, Higher Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. The first was well-done and provided important commentary on the state of American higher education and its future. I posted about it in 2017 (see: https://apicciano.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2017/10/23/robot-proof-higher-education-in-the-age-of-artificial-intelligence-by-joseph-e-aoun/) It was an important addition to the literature base on technology and the academy.
This 2nd edition is Aoun’s attempt to update the first edition in light of the emergence of generative AI with the release of ChatGPT in November 2022. For those of us who write regularly about technology, we always hope that what we write does not become dated too quickly because of a newer or more advanced technology. I am currently writing a 2nd edition of my book, Online Education: Foundations, Planning and Pedagogy, that was published in 2018, for essentially the same reason Aoun is updating Robot Proof… Aoun comments in the Preface that the emergence of generative AI is the main reason”I have revisited this book…”
If you have read and enjoyed the 1st edition, you will probably enjoyed Aoun’s update.
Below is a brief review of the 2nd edition.
