AI raises profound questions about what counts as knowledge, how we produce it, demonstrate it, and use it. And these questions are so urgent precisely because they are intertwined with so many others that will determine the future of higher education. Students, faculty, and administrators—across all disciplines, from the arts and humanities to the social sciences and STEM—must think together and carefully about how we can sustain the mission of academic institutions to produce and disseminate knowledge.
