We find ourselves at a peculiar crossroads. AI offers us the most powerful efficiency tool in history—one that is already reshaping the world our students will inherit. Many of us feel we have a responsibility to help them understand and navigate these tools. And yet, here lies the tension: teaching and learning resist efficiency. Real learning demands attention, struggle, and time. No algorithm can shortcut the neural pathways forged when a student wrestles with a difficult concept.
So how do we meet this moment? We do what academics do best: we experiment. We engage thoughtfully and critically. We invite students into honest conversations about when AI helps and when it hinders. We test new assessment strategies. We stay alert to unexpected opportunities. Above all, we stay curious.
That’s our approach in the Faculty Hub. We’re exploring—together—what education looks like when we hold two truths at once. Our students need to understand these powerful new tools, and they still need to master the slow, inefficient, and irreplaceable art of learning itself.
