Roundtable: Teaching in the Age of AI

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Brief Overview

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the landscape of higher education, especially in the proliferation of large language models like ChatGPT and Gemini. This roundtable will explore how AI tools can enhance teaching and learning in political science, from automating administrative tasks to providing personalized learning experiences for students. Panelists will discuss the potential of AI to support course prep, grading, and student engagement, as well as the serious ethical concerns (especially around academic integrity) and the challenges of adapting political science curricula to rapid technological changes. Whether you already incorporate AI in your teaching, are curious about how you might do so, or are gravely concerned about its impact, this session will offer insights to help make sense of this rapidly changing environment.
