The most significant breakthroughs in higher education rarely happen within a single discipline. They happen at the intersection of disciplines. A conversation between engineering and philosophy; between biology and ethics; between economics and sociology; between computer science and theology.
The challenge is that these conversations have always been difficult to create. They require relationships, time, institutional support, and often a willingness to leave the comfort of one’s own expertise. Artificial intelligence may change that. Much has been written about AI replacing human work. Those concerns deserve serious attention. Glenn Richey’s guest colum, “How to Stop Agentic AI from Eroding Human Agency,” rightly warns us that if we allow AI to think for us, we risk losing the very capabilities higher education exists to cultivate—judgment, expertise, curiosity, and agency.
