Description: Free speech, academic freedom, and perspective variety are essential to knowledge and universities, according to Alumni Free Speech Alliance members.
Alumni Free Speech Alliance The Alumni Free Speech Alliance brings together alumni groups that have a focus on supporting free speech, academic freedom, and viewpoint diversity at their colleges and universities. Members of the Alliance believe that free speech, academic freedom, and viewpoint diversity are critical to the advancement of knowledge and to the very concept of a university. Yet surveys show most students at the colleges and universities have little understanding of these principles.
As technology advances, there is an ongoing debate about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in regulating speech on campuses.
On the one hand, proponents argue that AI-powered systems can help create a safe and inclusive environment by monitoring and controlling speech that may promote hate speech or discrimination.
