Two pieces this week laid out how AI is being integrated across instruction and career preparation. Educators described classroom pilots that shift assignments to require critical evaluation of AI output, embed AI literacy in curricula and create tasks that can’t be automated—a response to the generative‑AI arrival in 2022. Separately, higher‑education leaders argued institutions must prepare students for workplaces where employers increasingly expect AI competence alongside judgment, ethical use and domain knowledge. The reports stress that AI literacy is not just tool training: it includes verification skills, understanding model limits and design of assessments that evaluate student reasoning in AI‑augmented workflows.
