March 25, 2026Share story
A team of multidisciplinary faculty at The Claremont Colleges will host a national conference on AI and higher education, 鈥�,鈥� May 21鈥�22 on the 无忧视频 campus.
The two-day conference will bring together faculty, academic administrators, industry leaders and students to move beyond the “academic integrity” debate toward a new paradigm for teaching. The conference will tackle critical questions: What cognitive tasks remain uniquely human? Should we still teach skills that AI can automate? And, how do we assess learning when the tools themselves are evolving daily?
鈥淕enAI tools provide both challenges and opportunities in education,鈥� said Josh Brake, one of the conference organizers. 鈥淭his conference will focus on innovative approaches to teaching with and about AI tools, with a particular focus on the impact these tools will have on society. We will be looking at what we teach, why we teach it, and how we teach and assess it.鈥�
