In a world increasingly shaped by Artificial Intelligence (AI), educators play a vital role in preparing students to think critically about its impact on their education, autonomy, and future. This session equips higher education instructors with practical tools, discussion prompts, and activities to foster critical thinking about AI. Participants will explore how to guide students in aligning AI use with ethical practices, academic growth, and career readiness. Through hands-on examples, this session will demonstrate how to create meaningful conversations that help students navigate the opportunities and challenges of AI in learning and beyond.
