As a new academic year begins, my colleagues and I wanted to share a glimpse inside some of the work we’ve done over the past few months in our Critical AI Literacy Institute.
Our goal in this program has been to slow things down so that we could create and hold space for faculty to think through the implications of genAI on learning in their disciplines, and ultimately to design interventions that teach with, about, or against genAI. A university—especially one the size of CUNY—should be able to accommodate these divergent approaches, and to surface and facilitate the exploration of the tensions they create.
The document shared below offers a cross-section of faculty consideration of and concern about genAI. This memo provides a synthesis of dialogue and writing faculty fellows did in April, which then formed the foundation for curricular interventions they designed in May and June. We’ll study what they do this fall, and then build the next phase of our Institute out of what we learn.
