AI is at an inflection point. As AI agents become more capable and colleges and businesses adopt them, who decides how these tools are used—and who gets to push back?

In Episode 6 of Still Human, Steve Isachsen and Rick White talk with Jim Sullivan, English professor and Academic Senate president at MiraCosta College, about AI in education, corporate power, student choice, and the future of human agency.

Jim offers a memorable way to approach the tension: “while.” We can explore what AI makes possible while questioning its environmental costs, protecting privacy, and resisting dependence on a handful of companies. We can invite students to experiment while respecting those who choose not to use AI.
