Who Owns the Time AI Saves? New Politics of Academic Labour
The future academic labour agreement may have to do something no previous faculty contract was asked to do. It may have to specify which forms of cognition belong to machines, which belong to professionals, which may be shared between them and where final authority must remain human.

Surprising AI breakthroughs raise soul-searching questions for mathematicians
Whether mathematics thrives or perishes in the age of AI depends on what it is that society values in the human intellect.
What Kind of Discipline is AI?
Universities are creating AI schools alongside disciplines such as logic, economics and communication without addressing their shared foundations. Mouhamdy M. Dahoud argues that this reflects an ontological gap, with current research funding and assessment taxonomies overlooking an entire category of science.
