Here are some guiding ideas to keep in mind as you navigate college in the era of artificial intelligence
1
Know and follow your school’s rules
Your institution, its departments and individual faculty members have established AI policies and expectations designed to optimize your learning and growth. Understand these policies and be aware that they may change over time. If you’re uncertain, ask questions.
2
Learn about AI
Everyone’s future professional and personal success will be influenced by AI systems. Learn how they work. Understand their strengths and weaknesses. Ask questions, be curious, try things, share what you know and learn from others.
3
Do the right thing
Learn to use AI ethically. Ensure that the work you submit is truly your own. Properly disclose and cite how you use AI-generated content. Deepen your critical thinking skills and ability to evaluate AI-generated content and spot false information, biases and fake images, video and audio.
4
Think beyond your major
AI brings together knowledge from all disciplines. Develop a multidisciplinary mindset and explore classes in a wide range of subjects. Develop strong skills in using, analyzing and communicating about data and consider getting certifications related to AI.
5
Commit to lifelong learning
We are only at the beginning of the AI revolution. New tools and AI uses will continually emerge. Always be on the lookout for what’s next. Work collaboratively with your peers and mentors. Adopt a lifelong learning mindset.
6
Prioritize privacy and security
Always remember that AI systems are not private; you have limited or no control over how your data will be used. Use only reputable platforms, understand the terms of service and share as little information as possible about yourself or others.
7
Cultivate your human abilities
Deepen your empathy and social skills. Stay focused on building strong relationships and thriving in the non-digital world. Exercise your apps-free creativity. Keep your unique human talents sharp in an environment filled with AI interactions.
