Dartmouth has become the first Ivy League institution to launch AI at an institutional scale, partnering with Anthropic and AWS, drawing criticism. Defending the move, professor paulnovosad says the school trusts students and faculty to find a good equilibrium, the financial stakes are tiny, and harm-mitigation steps are underway. He notes faculty demands vary wildly — "CS profs want GPUs, English profs want faraday cages" — so big fixed-cost investments now would be questionable.
