Cal State faculty push to prevent AI tools from replacing them as schools and staff experiment
The California State University faculty union is contesting the system’s use of AI tools and supporting legislation to prevent faculty replacement by generative AI. Cal State has a $13 million annual contract with ChatGPT for AI tools, while surveys indicate AI negatively affects teaching for over half of faculty. The union has filed complaints over AI implementation concerns, including chatbots using course materials and mental health AI tools.
