Across departments, Middlebury professors are grappling with the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education. Many professors, including Professor of English Megan Mayhew-Bergman and Lecturer in Chinese Mairead Harris, have modified syllabi to permit AI in specific contexts. “I want to make sure we're operating in reality, giving students what they need in this moment, and also pointing our writers and readers to a personal ethos that reflects the world they want to live in,” Mayhew-Berman wrote in an email to the campus. “I like to approach things in a non-sanctimonious way.”
