Majority of Grads Wish They’d Been Taught AI in College - Lauren Coffey, Inside Higher Ed

A new survey from Cengage Group, an education-technology company, released today, found that 70 percent of graduates believe basic generative AI training should be integrated into courses; 55 percent said their degree programs did not prepare them to use the new technology tools in the workforce. “That’s spot on to what I’ve seen and heard,” said Ray Schroeder, senior fellow at UPCEA, an online and professional education association, and a contributor to Inside Higher Ed. Schroeder encouraged universities to require students to take either an introductory course on generative AI that culminates in a project they can use in their portfolio or a senior-year capstone course that ensures they get the most up-to-date skills.
