The conversation moves from the practical—faculty training, instructional design, and scaling AI initiatives—to the emotional, including the idea of “grief” as faculty confront rapid technological change. We also examine how this work connects to broader efforts around equity and institutional transformation. The episode closes by interrogating the limits of using therapeutic metaphors to understand AI adoption in academia.","meta_description":"In this episode of Unfixed, we sit down with William Hardaway and Jason McGensy from CSU Fresno to explore how institutions are actually implementing AI i…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2465,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/unfixed-how-ai-is-reshaping-the-university-7342550/episodes/ep-26-from-grief-to-action-how-instructional-designers-are-leading-ai-change/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/unfixed-how-ai-is-reshaping-the-university-7342550/ep-26-from-grief-to-action-how-instructional-designers-are-leading-ai-change.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
