Just as the Internet revolutionized access to information and cameras transformed our perception of art, AI is ushering in a new era of creativity, problem-solving, and innovation. This technology isn't just confined to the classroom. It is reshaping industries, enhancing daily tasks, and opening up new possibilities for our relationship to work and the values we hold most essential.
We believe that AI can be a powerful tool for promoting equity, bridging gaps in educational access and resources, and leveling the playing field. But realizing this potential requires deliberate effort to ensure that AI doesn't widen existing disparities. This is why we are committed to training students to use AI skillfully, critically, and responsibly, and why we believe it is now the work of educators to prepare both ourselves and the next generation for this new reality.
We celebrate the irreplaceable value of in-person connections and lived experiences while also harnessing the incredible potential of our new digital collaborators. Together, we are preparing students for a future where human expertise and AI capabilities combine to create limitless opportunities.
