Artificial Intelligence and the threat to academia

Last year, my regular co-authors – John Morris (Auburn), Marty Mayer (UNC Pembroke), Rob Kenter (Center for Policing Equity) – published a little book on policymaking. The book took a year or so to gestate, as books will, but the dictates of academia also point to a real advantage of doing one: books spawn articles and articles spawn fame and glory for you. Sure enough, after the book hit the stands, we jumped into extending, updating and expanding its reach. We recently presented one of these at the Southern Political Science Association's annual meetings and another is in the works. To pick up sorely needed extra fuel, we added another author, Joe Aistrup (also Auburn) to the mix.
