University of Kentucky grants humanist employee exemption from using AI for his own tasks

Gizmodo, citing Religion News Service, reports that University of Kentucky research administrator David Durman sought a Title VII accommodation after the university reportedly encouraged staff to use ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. He said outsourcing his thinking to AI conflicted with his humanist beliefs. Gizmodo says the accommodation excuses him from using AI for his own tasks, though he may still need to work with colleagues who use it.
