From Tool to Interlocutor: Rethinking How Scholars Engage with AI

Another review of Generative AI for Academics from the University of Pennsylvania AI and Education Lab Substack:

As someone deeply engaged in digital and higher education, Carriage thinks like a philosopher, with real logical discipline. Still, he writes like a sociologist who has spent enough time inside institutions to know that they shape the people working within them just as much as the reverse. The book’s language is clear and accessible, and its structure is carefully organized. It is divided into three main sections: Chapters 1 to 3 establish the institutional context and theoretical positioning; Chapters 4 to 7 focus on academic practice and the practical use of AI; and Chapter 8 synthesizes the earlier discussions and offers a forward-looking perspective. The subsections within each chapter are logically arranged, allowing readers to navigate and engage with any section based on their interests. This modularity is a genuine strength. The book does not demand a linear march from cover to cover, which means it can meet you wherever you actually are in your relationship with these tools.
