As universities are pushing students to use generative AI for all kinds of things, even going so far as to call it an “ethical responsibility,” I hope this will be a resource for people who supervise student workers and need to gently push back.
STPP asks our research assistants & experiential learning students not to use generative AI in their work with us. We created a one-pager explaining why the pitfalls of GenAI tools make them ill-suited for the partnerships and policy analysis that we do. stpp.fordschool.umich.edu/research/com...

States and AI companies tout data centers as a boon for local economies, but what's the reality? This policy brief reviews the evidence: data centers are harmful for the environment and tax breaks are a bad deal for communities. @stpp-um.bsky.social
