What if we teach students how to use AI critically (instead of teaching them not to use it)?

I don't see our choice as "AI or no AI" any more than past generations could halt the spread of the printing press — that widely decried threat to scholarship. Children born today will never know a world without AI. The majority of U.S. teens already use AI chatbots, and over half turn to them for schoolwork. Students will reach for these tools, whether universities ban them or not.

In the not-distant future, banning AI in college is going feel like banning spell-check or the Internet. We must find a way to teach and for students to learn in the age of AI, but trying to stand in its way is not sustainable.
