🎓 AI Is Coming to Campus—But Are We Ready for the Transition?
In this short from The AI Transition, we unpack a major move: OpenAI and Anthropic are now rolling out free access to their premium tools for university students in the U.S. and Canada.
But this isn’t just about tech—it’s about transition.
🧠 OpenAI is focusing on productivity: writing, coding, summarising.
💬 Anthropic’s Claude is taking a deeper, more reflective path: acting as a Socratic tutor to build reasoning, not just answers.
As educators and students stand at the edge of this AI shift, we ask the bigger question: What internal transitions are we making? What are we letting go of—and who are we becoming?
Drawing on William Bridges’ Transition Model, this video explores:
The endings of traditional learning roles
The messy middle of AI ethics, academic integrity, and identity
The new beginning of emotionally intelligent AI literacy
🔍 Are we building skills or just handing out tools?
