Artificial Intelligence has arrived in education faster than many schools anticipated. High schools, colleges, and universities across the country are now struggling with a difficult question: if students can use AI to generate essays, summaries, and even entire research papers in seconds, how can educators truly assess learning?For some instructors, the immediate reaction has been to prohibit AI altogether. Others have attempted to use AI-detection software to identify whether assignments were generated by a machine. Yet these approaches may only delay a larger and more important conversation. Artificial Intelligence is not disappearing. In fact, today’s students will likely enter careers where AI tools are used daily in business, engineering, healthcare, manufacturing, communications, and countless other professions.
