This panel will explore diverse approaches to integrating AI in teaching and research. Each panelist will briefly share their current work with AI before opening up to an informal, generative discussion with the audience about the opportunities and challenges AI presents in higher education. Lee Frankel-Goldwater (Environmental Studies) will discuss the AI Literacy Ambassadors program and the use of citizen science lessons to build research and AI literacy skills. Bobby Hodgkinson (Aerospace Engineering) will share insights from embedding AI-generated feedback in engineering courses, highlighting both its pedagogical strengths and limitations. Diane Sieber (Engineering, Ethics and Society) will focus on shifting campus culture through new curricula and the Generative Futures Lab for AI — a collaborative space for experimentation and knowledge-sharing. Together, their work spans interdisciplinary areas of application, classroom integration, and institutional transformation — offering a rich conversation on the evolving role of AI in academia.
