Universities must find ways to prevent the atrophy of traditional skills while helping students acquire new competences that leverage the enormous power of artificial intelligence, writes @rajivsethi.bsky.social in his Substack. Otherwise, students will have been let down by those universities.

RIP Ken Prewitt, former CASBS fellow (1983-84), CASBS board member, and winner of the third Sage-CASBS Award (2015). After 2015, Ken generously continued to visit the CASBS hill, meeting with fellows and organizing workshops.
