New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

TY Aparna! We are indeed incensed—it is such insult to injury.
I’m connecting with some colleagues at different campuses who want to organize around this — please LMK if you might like to get looped in!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Super kind of you to say this! Yes, this drives us mad also. We got an email in Feb from our chancellor informing us of the decision to $17M of mystery funds for “ChatGPT Edu,” a product no one had heard of then. We have many, many CompSci and other experts in CSU who could have advised!

A colleague and I (also furious about this very thing) have a new preprint on genAI in higher ed:

“Let Them Eat Large Language Models: Artificial Intelligence and Austerity in the Neoliberal University”
