Is This the Future of Browsing?

Who is Your School’s AI Leader?

When I taught Theology classes for high school freshman, one of the things I learned quickly is to use the personal pronoun “I” during class discussions. If I were to say “we believe” about something, inevitably this would be challenged by students. “I don’t know if I believe this,” they might exclaim. And they were …
