Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the educational landscape, offering new ways to learn, work, and interact with information. 

As an educator, navigating this shift means understanding the impact AI is having and learning how to effectively address or integrate this new technology. 

While AI continues to rapidly grow and evolve, one thing that remains constant is the value of communicating expectations with students. It's essential instructors provide clear instructions on if and how AI can be used responsibly within the context of their course goals and values. When establishing guidelines for the appropriate use of AI tools, it is important to align those guidelines with academic integrity policies. Establishing well-defined guidelines not only supports responsible AI usage but also opens avenues for discussions on ethical considerations in technology use within academic settings.

In response to the ongoing evolution of AI and its implications for higher education, the Center for Teaching has partnered with several units on campus to develop resources and guidance to help you adapt to these technological advancements. By staying informed and engaged, instructors can leverage AI to enhance learning outcomes and prepare students for a future where AI is an integral part of the professional and academic landscape.
