With AI, we need to reconsider what it means to learn

"With AI, we need to reconsider what it means to learn" Generative AI has worked its way into every field over the past four years and is prompting us to reconsider our habits. At universities, students are using it to write, find information and solve problems, while scientists have already incorporated it largely into their research. Teachers are being called on to rethink how they do their job now that AI programs can complete - in just seconds - a number of tasks traditionally assigned to students. These are just some of the questions we explore in our special online report on AI at universities, published at the start of this new school year . These are also questions that Schwartz - a professor of educational technology at the Stanford Graduate School of Education and a faculty director at the Stanford Accelerator for Learning - has been studying for the past few years.
