The California Faculty Association contests the California State University system's use of artificial intelligence. The union aims to protect faculty jobs from being replaced by generative AI tools. They are backing legislation that would prevent CSU from replacing faculty with AI. This bill is advancing through the Legislature and has garnered no opposition. The union also filed an unfair labor practice charge over CSU's AI purchasing.
