B: Hiya Hiroshi! Not much, just reading some news articles. You?

B: Really? Interesting! So, they're not happy with football anymore, huh?
A: Well, not exactly. They've hired Bill Belichick for football but it's not going too well. But that's not what this is about.
B: Right, I get it now. So, they want to make AI the center of their studies and research.

B: Ah, like the old-school teachers resisting change. It happens all the time, huh?

B: That sounds bold! But some students are worried about their degrees, it seems.
A: Yeah, they're concerned about the future of their programs. But he says it will be a collaborative effort, not top-down.
B: Hmm, I see. What do you think about all this?
A: Well, it's risky, but if they can work together and move quickly, they could become the number one public university in America.
B: Wow, that's an ambitious goal! I wish them luck, though.
