The consultants that wrote the strategy missed two red flags. 🚩1 Some of our most talented professors object! A university strategy should be based on consensus. If your strategy is a comprise, forget it! 🚩2 AI is a horrendously unsustainable technology taking all the surplus electricity we have.

Letting a chatbot check the grammar and spelling of your text costs a million times more energy than the old Word grammar check (I am generous here, likely hundreds of million times). It&#39;s a completely UNSUSTAINABLE technology. Data centers are being built everywhere that strain the electricity grid and use water for cooling.

The board and the consultants who wrote the strategy may have listened to these researchers and claim the strategy is a compromise, that it promotes only &#34;value-driven&#34; AI, that we &#34;consciously choose&#34;, etc. However, any strategy that is a compromise is a failed strategy.

A university board should never even be tempted to make those decisions.
