An AI-Enhanced Education - Allison Elliott, Columbia Engineering

While Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around for decades, the entry of ChatGPT in 2022 marked the beginning of a new era in AI. Institutions of higher education were particularly impacted by the explosion in AI use and are now navigating how to incorporate these technologies in a way that can improve educational models and help students to become ethical and responsible users. Columbia Engineering has worked to encourage faculty to think critically and broadly about how AI can be incorporated into various aspects of the student learning experience. This past spring, a call for teaching proposals was issued in the area of generative AI to inspire creative ideas from faculty. Winning proposals emphasized going beyond efficiency and automation to improve learning and assessment and to prepare students for a rapidly evolving professional landscape in the age of AI.
