Pourquoi l'Irlande ferait une proie de choix dans la guerre hybride menée par la Russie Faible militairement, non membre de l'OTAN mais stratégique pour les communications en Europe, l'Irlande semble le maillon faible de l'UE face aux tentatives de déstabilisation orchestrées par Moscou. Alors que Dublin s'apprête à occuper la présidence de l'UE, la classe politique irlandaise sonne le rappel des troupes.

Opinion: We are lecturers in Trinity College Dublin. It is our responsibility to resist AI Even if all the known issues were magically resolved, we would still not want our students to use GenAI

It was good to co-author alongside @clarekelly.bsky.social & Caitríona Leahy & with the input from Harun Šiljak & Norah Campbell. We are clearly not the only ones thinking like this, both within Trinity & beyond, so let's build community to #resistAI

🧑🏽🏫 Inclusive history in the classroom means acknowledging previously excluded voices and empowering teachers to share them.

We're fundraising for a GRT Teacher Fellowship in memory of Helen Snelson, who advocated for inclusive, rigorous history.
