AI Perspectives

In this episode, Matt Hrusc (LifeVersity) hosts teacher Mariel Jurriens (Rotterdam School of Management) and student Yorrick Bronsgeest (who studies at Erasmus School of Social and Bahavioural Sciences and Erasmus School of Philosophy), who have a lively discussion about the use of GenAI within the university environment. Both equipped with strong opinions and a healthy dose of humour, Yorrick and Mariel use memes and philosophy references to tackle a topic they don't naturally agree on. 
 
Some of the questions that come up are: How will AI change students' writing, and is that change negative? And, what becomes of learning when AI is omnipresent in the university environment? 
 
Both guests are passionate readers and writers, but they have different stances on AI. Where one is open to exploring its possibilities and enjoying its benefits, the other is more sceptical.

What is AI Perspectives?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education, with students increasingly using it and lecturers navigating its rapid evolution. Writing, as a key academic skill, is particularly impacted by AI.

In this podcast series by the Community for Learning and Innovation at Erasmus University Rotterdam, we explore the role of AI in writing through diverse perspectives, featuring insights from EUR students and lecturers. Our aim is to highlight AI’s potential in education, foster open dialogue, and help lecturers confidently engage with AI while encouraging collaboration with students.
