Academia’s Dilemma
What to Do About Artificial Intelligence?
Description
Does artificial intelligence replicate human thinking, or just imitate it? How should academia, the epitome of intellectualism, respond to that question and its ramifications for the teaching profession? Veteran educator Jo Renee Formicola argues that if higher education is to survive the challenge of artificial intelligence then administrators, staff, faculty, and students have little choice but to cautiously adapt by merging traditional pedagogy with innovative digital tools.
In an age of lucrative business deals, government policies, and pedagogical reforms that hasten institutional change, the value and impact of AI is as easy to overlook as it is to overstate. Amid these conflicting assessments of AI's role in the teaching-learning continuum, Formicola weighs its value against the power of personal human interaction in the classroom. She examines AI as a worthwhile system to aggregate information and answer difficult research questions, but at the same time a step towards singularity of thought that can circumvent rigorous intellectual questioning and creativity.
Blending philosophical insight, pedagogical experience, and timely analysis, Formicola introduces a new framework for teaching that balances technological innovation with emotional intelligence.
This book challenges educators and institutions to rethink their reliance on AI and embrace a more relational, student-centered approach to learning.
