Across higher education, conversations around artificial intelligence (AI) have shifted rapidly throughout the years. What began as debates over whether AI tools should be allowed in classrooms has evolved into a more nuanced question: how can universities use AI responsibly, ethically and effectively to enhance learning and research? At Case Western Reserve University, Sumon Biswas, PhD, assistant professor at the Department of Computer and Data Sciences, noted how institutions nationwide are moving away from blanket restrictions and toward intentional integration, increasing the need for campuswide guidance on acceptable AI use and disclosure, practical literacy and AI-enabled research workflows with stronger attention to verification and ethics.
