Northwestern professors are taking a range of approaches to address artificial intelligence in the classroom this academic year. With limited campus-wide guidance on AI use, individual instructors are left to decide how and when tools like ChatGPT can be used in their courses. One concern of students with generative AI is that they could use it dishonestly, according to the University’s website on AI uses in courses. The NU Artificial Intelligence website outlines ways instructors can redesign assignments to address this issue. “I teach classes about data and about AI, so I think it’s appropriate for students who are learning about data and AI to themselves build the AI policy for the class,” he said.
