When used thoughtfully and with clear boundaries, generative AI has the potential to enhance higher education by supporting innovative teaching and learning approaches. Integrating AI into the learning environment—paired with intentional instruction about its capabilities, limitations, and ethical implications—can help students and faculty alike use these tools critically and effectively, while preparing students to navigate and shape the increasingly AI-driven world they will be entering at graduation.
This page lists resources at GU to help support the use of AI in teaching and learning.
