## Resource

A new California bill is racing through the legislature to block the state’s largest public university system from using AI to replace professors—sparked by faculty union fears that AI could violate labor laws and erode academic integrity. Already flagged for using risky AI tools like cheating-detection software and mental health chatbots, Cal State faces mounting pressure as union negotiations and legislative action collide. With no visible opposition, the bill aims to set ethical guardrails as institutions scramble to adopt AI without clear rules—reflecting a statewide debate over AI’s role in education, employment, and even therapy.
