Learn how to use AI to promote student agency and self-worth by amplifying the talents and skills that only humans possess.

AI can do amazing things, but it’s also raising concerns about its potential to overshadow human capabilities. For many students, interacting with a technology that is often just as capable as most trained professionals is enough to cast doubt on their sense of agency and self-worth. The question is, how can we harness AI in a way that amplifies the talents and skills that only humans possess?

We also explore exercises and assignments that help students master AI use while recognizing the value they bring to an AI-infused world.
