#DeepSeek may have spooked the markets, but what does it mean for the #GenAI research and development? And thus for #highered? @benswift.me advises universities to avoid lengthy, exclusive commitments to specific #AI platforms: www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/deeps... #academicsky #edusky

With all the concern about immigration and European security, German voters are unlikely to cost their vote on Sunday based on higher education policy. But that doesn't mean the election is inconsequential for higher education or research - especially if the AfD surges. @timeshighered.bsky.social

Great piece by @benswift.me for @timeshighered.bsky.social highlighting how dynamic the #GenAI space is - and that universities are well advised not to keep all their eggs in one AI basket by signing exclusive deals. Strong agree with Ben's arguments. www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/deeps...

Yep. Add to that every other degree. There is no coveted growth in any sector without a pipeline for producing articulate, skilled, educated and thoughtful people. The starving of universities to pinch pennies is the worst example of false economising other than ignoring climate change.
