Faculty across institutions are expressing deep concern about generative AI’s classroom impact. An AAC&U survey and related polling found large majorities of professors worry AI will erode critical thinking, shorten attention spans, increase academic dishonesty and weaken the value of degrees. Roughly 95% of faculty said overreliance on generative AI is a major worry; many also judged graduates unprepared to use AI responsibly in the workplace. In response, nearly nine in ten surveyed faculty have adopted policies on acceptable AI use and are addressing bias, hallucinations and privacy in class guidelines. But many instructors say their institutions are not equipping staff or students with the training needed to use AI productively. Faculty leaders are urging intentional, curriculum‑level responses—reworked assessment models, targeted AI literacy training, and new integrity frameworks—rather than bans or ad-hoc classroom rules.
