Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing both public health practice and higher education, raising important questions about how we prepare our students, support our faculty, and shape the future of public health education. In its recent report on AI and public health education, ASPPH urged schools and programs to “move now” to thoughtfully incorporate technology and data literacy, machine learning fundamentals, and digital ethics into public health curricula.
As reported in The Record on September 3, U-M is also working to finalize its AI Guiding Principles, and schools will soon be asked to articulate the AI competencies that are important for their students.
Responding to this changing landscape is a strategic priority for the School of Public Health. As one part of that work, SPH is launching AI and the Future of Public Health Education—a series of faculty conversations designed to share experiences, learn from colleagues, raise questions, and collectively consider how we want to approach AI as a school. The series will also help surface priorities and needs to inform future resources, programming, and strategic discussions around AI at SPH.
