Put aside your concerns about student use of generative AI in your classes. It is our urgent responsibility to teach students now how to use the technology in their discipline—their careers depend on us. It is not the academic integrity issue that looms the largest in higher education’s use of generative AI apps. Rather, it is our students’ need to gain knowledge, experience and skills with the technologies before they submit applications to employers. The annual 2024 Work Trend Index report from Microsoft and LinkedIn shows the astonishing rise in employee recognition of the need for generative AI skills: “Professionals aren’t waiting for official guidance or training—they’re skilling up. 76% say they need AI skills to remain competitive in the job market."
