'AI is not holding its breath; neither is Mother Nature.'
The University of Arizona, Tucson’s sacrosanct dinosaur-in-the-making, seems to be turning a blind eye to two major systemic challenges, both with heavy local implications. And both seminal opportunities to reorient and retool this ossifying institution before it’s too late. They should be ‘full frontal’ to executives running UA.
People are also reading… The water crisis is politically unpopular with UA’s liberal cognoscenti; their response is classic demand-centric, i.e., more bureaucratic control and conservation. We’re seeing that now. Yet the opportunity calls forth a deeper narrative, one in keeping with Arizona’s Western ethos. And one modified in a way that would show a technological supply-side solution, with broad environmental positives and globally humanitarian ones as well.
UA’s second major existential challenge, and a shared quandary with America’s expensive and bloated educational-industrial complex, one young people are increasingly skeptical of …is what to do about AI? Of the two challenges listed above, AI is the planet-killer because of the speed and completely new landscape it designs for any competition, every single day. And it’s dirt cheap ‘disruption’ as well.
