A university just used AI to chop up professor lectures into 60 second clips, wrap them in generated text, and sell them for $5/month. Most of the professors found out through social media, not their employer.
This raises a question worth sitting with: who should decide how your teaching gets repackaged by AI?
The professors say they were blindsided. The university says their IP policy gives them the right. The content produced was, by multiple accounts, low quality and riddled with errors.
Here is what I want to hear from you: If your institution started using AI to repackage your work without telling you, how would you respond? Is there a version of this that could actually work if educators were brought in as partners instead of treated as raw material?
