Educators are facing resistance to AI adoption in classrooms, fueled by skepticism and overwhelm. In "Teaching With AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning," authors José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson argue for the importance of AI literacy in higher education. They emphasize that AI is becoming essential for students' career development and that educators should learn to use these tools to guide students responsibly. Ignoring AI could hinder students' readiness for the workplace, highlighting a need for professors to adapt to this evolving landscape of learning.
If we don't help them to learn to use AI responsibly and well, then who will? To do that, educators need to engage with AI tools now.
An argument is now emerging that suggests AI literacy is essential learning for college students, just as critical thinking and writing are.
The resistance to AI mirrors previous responses to Wikipedia and the internet...those who effectively use AI will have better career opportunities.
Education's purpose should prepare students for life after graduation, and AI is becoming essential in their future careers.
