Artificial intelligence is reshaping the world as we know it. In recent years, AI tools have become more accessible and have changed the way we complete tasks like writing and designing content, managing projects, and even learning. However, many wonder how AI fits into higher education.

Today’s college students will enter a job market that’s transformed by AI, making AI literacy an essential skill for the future work force. Many institutions are responding to the growing presence of AI and its rapidly expanding capabilities with programs that help students gain the skills, literacy, and ethics they need for success.
