Canadian professors on how AI is changing education

A big issue hangs over university students and professors, and that’s artificial intelligence . There are some rules and guidelines, but professors are largely left on their own to determine how much they want to adopt AI or not – and that’s created a wide range of opinions. Today, we hear from five Canadian university professors about how they’re thinking about education and students in the world of AI. We speak with Amanda Perry , professor of literature at Champlain College-Saint Lambert and Concordia University; Matt Dinan , associate professor and director of the Great Books program at St Thomas University in New Brunswick; Sarah Elaine Eaton , professor in the Workman School of Education at the University of Calgary; Adegboyega Ojo , professor and Canada Research Chair in AI Governance at Carleton University; and Mike Welland , professor of Engineering Physics at McMaster University.
