Not Everyone Wants To Use AI – But Do We Still Have A Choice?
Dyson Philosophy Professor James Brusseau speaks to Dazed Magazine on how AI’s rapid integration into everyday life is eroding choice and creativity. Professor Brusseau, whose research explores human-AI interactions, warns of a growing “narcotic of convenience”—where convenience replaces curiosity, and opting out of AI becomes increasingly difficult.

Staff members! Looking for a wonderful way to meet your colleagues, learn about key issues impacting staff, and perhaps join a committee?
The Westchester Staff Council (WSC) and New York Staff Council (NYSC) offer vital platforms for university staff to engage with senior administration and discuss key issues. Open to all staff members, with voting rights reserved for full-time staff, each council meets monthly (sometimes jointly) from September through May, and wrap up the year by hosting a fun, community-building picnic. Interested in more involvement? Join one of the various committees like the Benefits, Faculty, or Safety Committees and represent your peers!
Each Staff Council’s Executive Committee, composed of the Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson (or Co-Chairpersons), Secretary, and Treasurer, is elected by voting members for one-year terms, with a maximum of four consecutive terms per position. Staff council co-chairs play an essential role in advocating for staff at the Board of Trustees' Staff Affairs Committee meetings held twice annually. The Executive Sponsor to the Staff Councils who is a member of Operations Committee, guides them on surfacing concerns and has been working with them to draft a new charter, with the aim of clarifying how they engage in university governance. Alongside the elected staff representative, staff council co-chairs gain exciting opportunities to interact with board members and senior leaders, obtain experience speaking and presenting to a committee, and to represent colleagues and fellow coworkers on numerous occasions.
For more information, check out the websites for the NY Staff Council or the Westchester Staff Council.
