Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

35. Mein Kampf(My Struggle) Excerpts
• “If, with the help of his Marxist creed, the Jew is victorious over the other peoples of the
world, his crown will be the funeral wreath of humanity and this planet will, as it did
thousands of years ago, move through the ether devoid of men.”
• “Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator:
by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.”
• “Here he stops at nothing, and in his vileness he becomes so gigantic that no one need be
surprised if among our people the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil
assumes the living shape of the Jew.”
• “With satanic joy in his face, the black-haired Jewish youth lurks in wait for the unsuspecting
girl whom he defiles with his blood, thus stealing her from her people. With every means he
tries to destroy the racial foundations of the people he has set out to subjugate. Just as he
himself systematically ruins women and girls, he does not shrink back from pulling down the
blood barriers for others, even on a large scale. It was and it is Jews who bring the Negroes
into the Rhineland, always with the same secret thought and clear aim of ruining the hated
white race by the necessarily resulting bastardization, throwing it down from its cultural and
political height, and himself rising to be its master.”
36. Hitler Rise To Power

52. Blitzkrieg-Lightning War-Video
1. Airforce attacks enemy front-line and rear positions, main roads, airfields and
communication centers. At the same time, infantry attacks on the entire frontline and
engages enemy.
2. Tank(panzer) units breakthrough main lines of defense and advance deeper into enemy
territory. While following, mechanized units pursue and engage defenders preventing
them from establishing defensive positions. Infantry continues to engage enemy for the
same reason.
3. Infantry attacks enemy flanks in order to link up with other groups to complete the
attack and eventually encircle the enemy and/or capture strategic position.
4. Mechanized groups go deeper into the enemy territory outflanking the enemy
positions and preventing withdrawing troops and defenders from establishing effective
defensive positions.
5. Main force links up with other units encircling and cutting off the enemy.
6. Goal was to achieve victory as quickly as possible
78. "What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. I expect that
the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the
survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life and
the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and
might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us now. Hitler knows
that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand
up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move
forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world,
including the United States, including all that we have known and cared
for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age, made more sinister, and
perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us
therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the
British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will
say, "This was their finest hour."
Winston Churchill
79. Nazi Goals for Battle of Britain
1. Destroy the Royal Air Force(before invasion was possible-hopefully
by 9-15)
2. Attack and destroy the British Navy
3. Attack British troops
4. Once air control was gained, the invasion of Great Britain would
begin
**Germany never succeeded in achieving #1
**German bombers did so poorly against the RAF that they started
bombing at night only
**Great Britain was aided heavily by the radar and Ultra
86. Results

116. Nazi Propaganda
• "All propaganda must be so popular and on such an
intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those
toward whom it is directed will understand
it... Through clever and constant application of
propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as
hell, and also the other way around, to consider the
most wretched sort of life as paradise."

122. The Holocaust
•The genocide of approximately six million European Jews
during World War II
• A program of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi
Germany throughout Nazi-occupied territory
• Approximately two-thirds of the population of nine million Jews
who had lived in Europe before the Holocaust died
• Some say that the definition of the Holocaust should also include
the Nazis' killing of millions of people in other groups from
Germany and other occupied territory
• By this definition, the total number of Holocaust victims would
be between 11 million and 17 million people
123. What is Genocide?
1948-United Nations
• Genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to
destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious
group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to
bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
• Member Countries must “undertake to prevent and punish.”

European dialect
126. Lebensborn-Fount of Life
• The program aimed to promote the growth of "superior" Aryan
populations by providing excellent health care and living conditions to
women and by restricting access to those deemed “fit”
• Houses were set up throughout Germany and many occupied
territories
• Many Lebensborn children were born to unwed mothers which helped
lead to many rumors of rape
• Contrary to widespread rumors, women were not forced to have
