Integrating AI Literacy into the Curricula
A New Cohort Project Gets Underway
While the technological and commercial landscape remains fluid, and the long-term impacts of AI on teaching and learning remain contested, colleges and universities are ready to shift from reactive to proactive engagement with AI.

Defining and Implementing AI Literacy
Announcing a New Cohort Project
