This panel brings together students from both 4-year and community colleges to share their perspectives on the current and future use of AI in the classroom and the workplace. As AI continues to reshape education and work, it is crucial for higher education to foster ongoing dialogue among students, faculty, and administrators. These conversations must go beyond ethical considerations of AI as a tool, and also explore deeper questions about knowledge, learning, and the role of technology in shaping our understanding of both.).
