Podcast: Teaching Alongside Generative AI for Student Success
"When we talk about the campus of Touro, we actually have 18 or 19 different campuses around the country and a couple even internationally. So we're a very large and very diverse organization, which does affect how we think about AI and how we think about issues of the governance and development of our programs. That said, we think about AI primarily as a new kind of interactive technology, which is best seen as assistive to human endeavors."
"We want to teach our students both how to use AI effectively in what they do, how to understand and properly mitigate and deal with the risks of using AI improperly, but above all, to always think about AI in a human context. When we think about integrating AI for projects, initiatives, organizations, what have you, we need to first think about the human processes that are going to be supported by AI."
Nearly one-third of college provosts have reviewed curriculum for workplace AI preparation, and most others plan reviews. Institutions are incentivizing faculty to engage with AI tools and embed simulations into programs. AI is framed as an interactive, assistive technology that should be taught for effective use, risk mitigation, and human-centered thinking. Large, multi-campus systems require governance and program development tailored to diverse contexts. Faculty and staff development around AI competencies is necessary. Attention to human processes and caution against over-gamification are emphasized to ensure ethical, practical integration of AI into learning.
