Colleges and universities are considering new ways to incorporate generative AI into teaching and learning, but not every student is on board with the tech yet. Experts weigh in on the necessity of AI in career preparation and higher education’s role in preparing students for jobs of the future. A May 2024 survey by Inside Higher Ed and Generation Lab asked students if they knew when, how or whether to use generative artificial intelligence to help with coursework.

US Universities are engaging with AI in ways beyond anything I see in the UK, Europe and elsewhere. I’ve written about Harvard before but Yale seems like the strongest in intent, widest in access and deepest in enabling research, teaching and learning. Well funded at $150 million, they understand the need for the necessary IT infrastructure. What really matters is top-down management intent. Scott Strobel has been the Provost of Yale since 2020. As a successful science researcher and Caltech graduate he understands the technology and has sought, through his Yale Task Force on Artificial Intelligence, recommendations that were delivered in June. It has taken only two months to get a plan and funding in place. That is impressive.

Since the release of ChatGPT, as educators we’ve faced lots of challenges, but this time is also full of possibilities. Since more educational artificial intelligence (AI) platforms and tools have been introduced, I’ve assessed a few AI tools with my colleagues and reflected on how they would impact our teaching, and I would like to share the experience of using MagicSchool and other AI tools in preparation for an elementary social studies class.

Misinformation spreads quickly and often hides behind the facade of critical thinking. The US is learning this the hard way. State-sponsored disinformation campaigns, particularly from Russia, have become adept at using skepticism to undermine democratic societies. They exploit the language of doubt to sow confusion and erode trust in institutions. At the same time, we witness disturbing trends within education and society: the banning of books in schools under the guise of protecting children from “controversial” content, attacks on transgender students framed as safeguarding traditional values, threats and harassment aimed at teachers for discussing topics deemed politically sensitive, and the normalization of inaction in response to school shootings, justified by distorted interpretations of constitutional rights. These actions restrict access to diverse perspectives central to democratic discourse, instill fear in educators and students, and punish those who challenge imposed ideologies, creating an environment where disinformation thrives.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has captured the attention of the education community. Some educators are enamored with the opportunities to use GenAI to tackle long-standing issues and close opportunity gaps. Others focus on challenges caused by GenAI upending traditional learning structures, as well as concerns about academic integrity and inaccuracies of AI-Generated materials. Whether enthusiastic, circumspect, or somewhere in between, it is crucial for all educators to be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in an AI-driven world. Most educators agree that students must develop critical AI skills, such as understanding what AI is, how it works, and how to use it to support learning (ISTE, 2024). This creates a particular urgency for Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) that are responsible for preparing next-generation teachers to effectively leverage GenAI and understand the implications for teaching and learning.
In the early days of GenAI, many elementary and secondary schools reacted by attempting to limit access to GenAI tools, often in the name of preventing cheating. However, much has changed in a short period of time. Education leaders now recognize that bans on GenAI are largely ineffective, often restrict access for those who can least afford the technology, and may prevent students from developing critical skills (Jimenez, 2023). Additionally, survey data from Stanford shows no significant increase in student cheating since GenAI became widely available (Spector, 2023).
As experience with GenAI has grown, school leaders and educators have also become better equipped to assess its benefits and risks, leading to informed guidelines and policies that expand its use. As of 2023, over half of educators said they have used ChatGPT for educational purposes, and more than two-thirds agreed that AI integration would significantly benefit teaching (AmadoSalvatierra et al., 2023).
GenAI offers unprecedented capabilities that could disrupt current educational practices, expanding access to high-fidelity simulations, adaptive tutoring, and more personalized learning. As GenAI continues to evolve, to fully leverage these capabilities, education institutions must address issues of equity, bias, transparency, accuracy, user privacy, and a wide array of ethical questions.
Additionally, assessment practices will need to be updated, new digital literacies acquired, and norms established for appropriate GenAI use. EPPs face particular challenges, as teacher education faculty must consider GenAI’s impact on their own teaching, as well as the rapidly changing school environments their students will enter. EPPs must work in tandem with their school partners to establish transformational GenAI practices in their programs.

What images come to your mind when you think of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Popular illustrations include human-like robots, or a brain intertwined with chips and wires. However, these images and metaphors do not accurately reflect what AI is. The field of AI encompasses a wide range of techniques and methods that perform functions we may not typically associate with it, such as facial recognition, personalized news feeds on social media, customized suggestions and advertisements, route planning (e.g., Google Maps), and search engines (e.g., Google Search, which uses AI to improve accuracy and relevance of search results). Generative AI is an umbrella term for any AI system that can generate content--such as images, texts, audio and codes-based on the data on which the GPT-based Large Language Model (LLM) is trained (Bender et al., 2021; Chiang, 2023). Much of the Worldwide Web on the Internet is the core dataset of current LLMs, which are then fed additional selective data to tune their responses for particular purposes.
