While the promise of personalized A.I. tutors and campuswide integration is compelling, we must pause to consider the broader implications, especially for how students come to understand learning itself. The rush to adopt A.I. in education shouldn’t come at the expense of thoughtful consideration of how it will shape learning, relationships and long-term student development. It’s worth asking: Are we promoting shortcuts, or are we encouraging deeper reflection and intellectual growth? We don’t need to fear A.I. in classrooms, but we do need to teach students how to work with it, not just use it. That’s a very different kind of literacy.
