Join us for the U-M Enriching Scholarship Conference 2025 Keynote Address by José Antonio Bowen.

It is hard to ignore the AI threats to economic, academic, political, environmental and psychological well-being. Higher education, however, finds itself in a unique position to understand and combat these threats: asking better questions and judging answers has always been at the center of a critical thinking education. Education manages the tension between learning to be fully human and preparing for a successful career. Since expertise is also essential to using AI well, we will need to prepare students to be experts in a world where AI can produce better work than many interns. Understanding how we might (or might not) use AI to support human thriving will be essential as we begin the process of maintaining the best of our tradition while rethinking curriculum for a new world.
