From the article:

The regents used AI analysis software to audit syllabi for unapproved content. Thanks to this rude mech, 200 courses have been cancelled, stripped of core curricular credit value, or forced into revision.

Gotta love how AI is calling the shots in so many sectors these days. It makes for the perfect scapegoat. "Well the AI said so" is not a valid response in my mind, but those in charge clearly disagree. I've also read of situations where an AI will be 'in charge' but there will be a human on site to help out (or likely more accurately--take the fall when the AI fucks up)
