I am about half way through, and took a break to read your summary. It is thought-provoking presentation, but I’m finding it tedious that Williamson is basically reading most of the text on every slide. While I am excited by the idea about the potential of ‘sentient’ ‘universities’, I don’t think the public and educational policies are keeping pace with the exponential advances in technologies. I am not sanguine about inserting ‘out of control,’ buggy’ algorithms into the educational system which already has inherent issues and challenges, ‘algorithmists’ ‘engineering the public.’ I’ll try to post a blog of comparable quality to yours above when I’ve finished viewing. Cheers, PJ
