Large faculty surveys report widespread concern that generative AI is undermining critical thinking, shortening attention spans and increasing academic dishonesty. A majority of instructors said graduates are not prepared to use AI responsibly in the workplace, and nearly all expressed worry about overreliance on these tools. While many educators support teaching AI literacy, they call for urgent leadership on assessment redesign, academic‑integrity policies and professional development so AI augments learning rather than replacing core pedagogical tasks. The findings signal a sector‑wide push for clearer institutional AI governance and faculty training.
