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.

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
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.

3. TECHNOLOGY
• The term ‘Technology” is wide and everyone has their own way of
understanding the meaning of technology.
• We use technology to accomplish various tasks in our daily lives, in brief; we
can describe technology as products. We use technology to extend our
abilities.
• we use technology at work, we use it to, we use technology for
communication, transportation, learning, manufacturing, securing data, and
so much more.
• technology can sometimes enable us to be in two places at once.
4. WHAT LIFE BALANCE NOT
IS?
• A lot of people think that life
balance is some state of mind and
body where everything just feels,
looks, and seems perfect and
stable. Is it possible in reality?
Absolutely, not.
• life balance will vary over time,
often on a daily basis. The right
balance for you today will probably
be different for you tomorrow.
• The best life balance is different for
each of us because we all have
different priorities and different
lives.
5. SO WHAT IS LIFE BALANCE?
• LIFE BALANCE IS:
• A journey – every day you must make steps to stay in balance. Every day
something will try to push you out of balance (and most of the time this
“something” will succeed) but every time you will be able to bounce back to
your balance.
• Attitude – living a balanced life means having a balanced mindset. You can’t
force yourself to make choices that are not natural to you.
6. LIFE BALANCE IS…
• Focus – every area of your life (family, health, work,
finances, passions, social life and spirituality)
requires different amounts of your time and
attention at different points of your life.
• Life balance is focus on the most important things
in life and not being afraid to let go of less
important tasks, projects and people.
• In short
• Life balance is taking care of body without
forgetting the soul.
7. NOW, WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY AND LIFE
BALANCE?
AT ONCE.
Never get so busy making a living, That never make a life.
8. TECHNOLOGY AND LIFE BALANCE
• Without the appropriate boundaries, we
can see technology slowly hurting our
families.
• If technology is well applied, it can benefit
humans, but if it is wrongly applied, it can
cause harm to human beings.
• There is no doubt that technology has
changed the way we work and provides
challenges for life balance.
• Wasn't technology supposed to make our
life easier, and give us more time for our
personal lives?
9. LET’S DEFINE TECHNOLOGY AND LIFE
BALANCE
• Technology-Life balance is a
concept including prioritizing
between “Technology”
(Mobile, Computer,
internet…) and “lifestyle”
(Health, pleasure, family and
spiritual development).
10. THERE ARE TWO MAIN TYPES OF
TECHNOLOGY USERS:
TECHNOLOGY SLAVES
• They are people with high
expectations and workloads
who need to work long hours
and be accessible 24/7 to
advance in their organization
(addicted to work).
11. TECHNOLOGY MASTERS
• They are moderate users of
technology who use it as a
tool for both personal and
work life and thereby
increase their ability to
manage their time and
increase control of their lives.
12. POSITIVE IMPACT
• There are very few parts of life that
remain untouched by technology in one
way or another. our lives are greatly
improved because of it.
• We are a key point in time in making sure
technology does not become our master
and we should not be its slave, that is
why life balance is very important in
using technology.
• Say NO, and take control of technology.
13. IS TECHNOLOGY LEAD US TO UNBALANCED
LIFE?
• having the technology allow you
to work flexibly doesn't
necessarily reduce stress levels.
In fact, 70% of respondents to a
recent Accenture survey said
technology caused work to
creep into their personal lives.
• I could be wrong, but one of the
major reasons we may be sliding
into an unbalanced life is, in
fact, technology.
• While technology has allowed us
to be more connected and given
us the ability to reach out for
information, it has also made it
easier for our work lives to
reach out to us. Mobile devices
are key here.
14. TECHNOLOGY MUST
NOT BE EVERY TIME
• It's complicated, of course, but
start by activating that little
switch on your smartphone that
turns off your email. I know it's
tough to do, but at least turn it
off when you are with your
family and friends, especially at
meals. Take a look around the
next time you are in a restaurant
and notice how many people are
staring at their phones instead
of connecting with the person
seated directly across the table.
15. HERE ARE FEW STEPS TO STAY BALANCED:
• 1. Turn off your email
If you have your smart phone connected to your work email, turn off
your work email during home hours.
• 2. Leave your computer at work
Don’t bring your laptop home.
• 4. Don’t use/carry your phone everywhere
• Set your phone down, turn the ringer up, and be free from
technology for company time.
16. TECHNOLOGY’S IMPACT ON LIFE BALANCE
• We’re always accessible
With an entire suite of
communication tools found
on a single, pocket-sized
device, it’s easier than ever to
get in touch with just about
anyone these days, no matter
where in the world they may
be.
• We’re becoming more
efficient
Advances in technology are
also making the workplace
more efficient. From time-
saving apps to digital storage
option make better use of
their time
