Generative AI is transforming education by offering new ways to enhance learning, creativity, and efficiency. Whether used to support content creation, personalize learning, or encourage critical thinking, AI tools can be powerful assets in teaching—when used with intention and ethical awareness. Faculty who integrate AI effectively can foster student engagement, adaptability, and digital literacy. 

To maximize its benefits, educators should consider how AI aligns with learning objectives, supports skill development, and enhances—not replaces—human connection in education. Thoughtful implementation of AI can create more inclusive and interactive learning environments while helping students develop critical AI literacy skills essential for academic and professional success.
