Today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce, and those workers will be expected to have at least a basic level of AI literacy when they begin their careers. Those with a more advanced understanding of how to get the most out of an LLM will have an even greater advantage over their peers. The goal then is to educate students on using AI the same way you would teach them to use, say, lab equipment, a paintbrush or a soldering iron — except that AI, unlike a paintbrush, is still evolving. So, while teaching them remains important, making sure you’re doing so using the latest tools, and keeping up with the next evolution, is just as crucial.
