Rather than viewing AI as a threat to academic integrity, I structure assignments that make AI assistance transparent and productive, requiring students to engage critically with generated content rather than merely accepting it.

My developing philosophy toward AI in university education emphasizes preparing students for an AI-integrated professional landscape while preserving essential learning outcomes. This approach acknowledges AI’s permanence in academic and professional contexts while ensuring students develop the analytical skills necessary to evaluate, modify, and improve upon their own understanding. These competencies will serve them regardless of how these technologies evolve.
