CHALKBOARDS AND WHAT THEY CAN TEACH US ABOUT GENERATIVE AI

This article reflects on using generative AI as a teaching tool, arguing the technology should be analyzed beyond its technical aspects, with consideration for its alignment with educational values. The author, while open to using AI, is cautious about its impact and emphasizes the need to articulate why certain tools are implemented in the classroom. The discussion draws parallels between traditional tools like chalkboards and AI, considering both for their cultural significance and pedagogical implications.

THE EVOLUTION OF SAAS PRICING IN THE AI ERA

The traditional seat-based pricing model in SaaS is becoming obsolete with AI's capability to automate tasks. Companies are increasingly adopting work-based or outcome-based pricing models, which charge based on the amount of work AI performs or the outcomes achieved. While incumbents are still relying on seat-based pricing, startups are leveraging new models for competitive advantage and to reflect AI's value more accurately.
