Ohio State to embed curriculum teaching undergraduates how artificial intelligence ‘can be responsibly applied’

I actually think this is the right approach for dealing with these new tools - use them, teach them, understand their strengths and weaknesses.

Ohio State University has announced that all of its students will be using artificial intelligence later this year, requiring them to become fluent in combining conventional learning with AI.

“Ohio State has an opportunity and responsibility to prepare students to not just keep up, but lead in this workforce of the future,” said the university’s president, Walter “Ted” Carter Jr.

He added: “Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we live, work, teach and learn. In the not-so-distant future, every job, in every industry, is going to be [affected] in some way by AI.”

Ohio State’s provost, Ravi Bellamkonda, added that its AI fluency initiative will embed education about the technology throughout the undergraduate curriculum.

“Through AI Fluency, Ohio State students will be ‘bilingual’ – fluent in both their major field of study and the application of AI in that area,” he said.
