Preparing Students for an AI-Integrated Future
Karla Badillo-Urquiola, Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, discusses the importance of faculty cultivating AI literacy among their students. She notes that the use of AI is no longer reserved for tech enthusiasts, emphasizing that it can be leveraged by faculty and students from all academic backgrounds. Possessing basic AI literacy also empowers students to understand how these technologies are affecting the information they consume and the decisions made by companies and governments. Finding ways to engage with students about AI so that they can critically assess it, consider its ethical implications, and understand its societal impacts is therefore essential.
