Description
State and community colleges face unique challenges and limited resources to foster AI fluency relative to university counterparts. Despite this, these institutions will be the sole source of AI exposure and training for many graduates entering a workplace being transformed by AI. This session aims to create a discussion about faculty and student attitudes towards generative AI use in the classroom. These attitudes will be framed within the multi-faceted pressures facing us from the institution, workforce, and community while serving a student population which includes some less-than-tech-savvy students. Join us as we discuss the process and methods of fostering responsible and innovative AI practices in state and community colleges.
