Computer science enrollment is falling even as psych, music and biology majors rush into AI minors — colleges are racing to keep up with employer demand.
Abstract The present discussion examines the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings, focusing on the necessity for AI literacy, prompt engineering proficiency, and enhanced critical thinking skills. The introduction of AI into education marks a significant departure from conventional teaching methods, offering personalized learning and support for diverse educational requirements, including students with special needs. However, this integration presents challenges, includin…
The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has transformed numerous aspects of daily life, yet its impact on critical thinking remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between AI tool usage and critical thinking skills, focusing on cognitive offloading as a mediating factor. Utilising a mixed-method approach, we conducted surveys and in-depth interviews with 666 participants across diverse age groups and educational backgrounds. Quantitative data were analysed using ANOVA and…
Abstract The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational settings, particularly in language learning, necessitates a deeper understanding of the determinants of student trust. This study aims to investigate how digital literacy and trust in AI shape the attitudes, behavioral intentions, and creativity of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. This study is grounded in the technology acceptance model (TAM) and employed a two-stage survey methodology. Study 1 utilized a survey methodology w…
Abstract Generative AI now mediates core parts of learning, yet we lack criteria to tell its legitimate pedagogical uses from manipulative and deceptive ones. We also know too little about how AI reshapes the growth of critical thinking and creativity, or about whether it accelerates drift from educational goods to evaluative metrics. Using a postdigital, pragmatist lens that treats classrooms as sociomaterial assemblages of people, platforms, and institutions, we propose three orienting principles: moral legiti…
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly reshaping how students learn, reason, and create, raising pressing questions about agency, trust, and moral responsibility. While information systems (IS) research has emphasized organizational governance and design ethics, less is known about how students develop ethical awareness in everyday AI use. This study applies a systematic grounded theory lens to a mixed-format survey of 69 Japanese university students. We develop a process model of how student…
