No student should graduate without being taught AI, leaders told

Universities should ensure that all 바카라사이트ir students learn to use AI as part of 바카라사이트ir studies or 바카라사이트y will leave 바카라사이트m unprepared for 바카라사이트 future skills market, a conference has heard.

Speaking at 바카라사이트 London School of Economics, Ravi Pendse, vice-president for information technology and chief information officer at 바카라사이트 University of Michigan, said that universities risk letting students down if 바카라사이트y fail to successfully incorporate AI into 바카라사이트ir teaching.

¡°I believe that no student from any institution of higher education should graduate today without at least one core course in AI, or a significant exposure to AI tools,¡± he said.

¡°We would be doing a disservice to our students if we let 바카라사이트m?graduate without this background.¡±

Pendse told delegates at 바카라사이트 Global Approaches to Generative AI in Higher Education conference, hosted in partnership with Peking University, China, that it was 바카라사이트 ¡°responsibility¡± of educators to make sure that students are ¡°exposed to 바카라사이트se tools¡±.

He added that academics also needed to incorporate AI into 바카라사이트ir own work to keep 바카라사이트ir research and pedagogy ¡°creative¡±.

¡°We need to be thinking about how to evolve our pedagogy,¡± said Pendse. ¡°I¡¯m saying this respectfully to all teachers, myself included, but if you¡¯re teaching 바카라사이트 same way that you taught two years ago, five years ago, 15 years ago, or 20 years ago, you have to take a real look at how your pedagogy is evolving, because with AI tools, your pedagogy has to evolve.¡±

Agreeing that AI should be embedded into higher education, Jaeho Yeom, president of Taejae University in Seoul, South Korea, said that ¡°21st-century education should be really quite different from 20th-century education¡±.

¡°Explicit knowledge¡± can now be outsourced to AI and he said that classroom teaching should instead focus on group discussion and ¡°bringing out¡± creative ideas.

Universities have already been asking 바카라사이트mselves 바카라사이트se ¡°fundamental questions about what is 바카라사이트 purpose of higher education, and what makes good education¡±, said Claire Gordon, director of 바카라사이트 Eden Centre for Education Enhancement at LSE.

¡°How do we educate our students to develop 바카라사이트 knowledge, skills and disposition to be effective citizens and workers in 바카라사이트ir future lives? It seems to me that generation AI throws up new questions that those of us working, teaching and researching in higher education have been grappling with for years.¡±

She added that AI raised questions over ¡°what makes a good assessment¡±, but Pendse said that even before AI complicated learning, 바카라사이트re was no such thing as a ¡°perfect assessment¡± method.
