Yep. I think the wording is vague & will be seeking clarification, but the status quo for Canvas's in-house AI features was that they had to be turned on/off by systems administrator, not instructors. So, depending on your institution, this may be a vector for faculty organizing, like, now.
"settings available down to course level" tells me that uni admins are still going to opt everyone in and make it somewhere between a pain and impossible to turn off for individual courses, it's clear the "opt-in" model here is mainly top level

One of the first things I do with freshman undergrads is to compile a sense of how much reading they do in a day (texts, websites, memes etc) to make clear that not liking reading three volume novels is *not* the same thing as not reading.
Will reading become obsolete? How A.I. could transform our relationship to the written word.
What’s Happening to Reading?
For many people, A.I. may be bringing the age of traditional text to an end.

Public transit keeps love alive.
I’m at O’Hare airport, where, 14 years ago this week, instead of getting on my flight home, I exited the airport, took the blue line back into the city to chase down a man I had met that weekend and totally fallen for. Anyway now we’ve been married for 11 years and have 8yo twins.
