EducAItion: Implementing artificial intelligence in the classroom

As artificial intelligence becomes more common in education, including the university piloting Boodlebox, Trinity professors have begun to use it in their courses. Some analyze it for its strengths and weaknesses, and others allow it solely for research purposes. The article explores various faculty approaches to AI integration and the importance of AI literacy.

BC3, SRU task forces evaluate use of artificial intelligence in academics

Mar 19,26 | 01:42 EST

Calculators, the internet and even Wikipedia each changed education when they became accessible to students at all levels of education. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the latest game-changing tool that academic institutions have to engage with. Butler County Community College (BC3) and Slippery Rock University (SRU) have formed task forces to examine the use of AI in academic work, communicating with their administrations to define a path forward. The rapid rollout of generative AI means these institutions are studying its uses and potential "while the plane is already in the air." Brian Danielson, leader of SRU’s AI study group and director of the Center for Teaching and Learning, noted that the goal is to foster a culture where faculty understands AI and integrates it into the curriculum as a tool, not a shortcut. At BC3, Michael Dittman leads Project Beta, now in its second phase after a year of exploring AI uses with college staff to streamline workflows. This phase involves presenting findings to BC3 president Megan Coval for direction on AI implementation. Both schools are focused on establishing ethical and productive ways for instructors and students to engage with AI in academic settings, defining its boundaries in student work.

Forum on harnessing Artificial Intelligence for health equity

Mar 19,26 | 01:36 EST

Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly evolved in complexity, performance, and utility. Its integration across a wide range of industrial sectors has accelerated, with healthcare emerging as one of the most transformative sectors. In this sector, AI has enabled high-impact applications – from enhancing the speed and accuracy of disease diagnosis and supporting clinical decision-making, to strengthening public health initiatives such as disease surveillance and workforce optimization. Moreover, AI holds immense potential to empower individuals, enabling them to take greater control of their personal health and well-being. Yet the central question remains: Who benefits, who is at risk, and do these innovations close or widen health inequities? While the potential of AI-enabled applications is substantial, many countries have approached their adoption with caution. This hesitancy stems from concerns about risks and benefits, including model bias, data breaches, privacy violations, and the erosion of professional skills due to over-reliance on AI. Additional barriers include inadequate data infrastructure and a lack of robust evidence on the most effective forms and interfaces of AI to enhance service delivery and system performance. Moreover, the rapid rise of Generative AI has introduced a heightened urgency for the development of comprehensive governance and ethical frameworks. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) Health Practice Team and Digital Sector, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for the Western Pacific, are convening the Forum on Harnessing AI for Health Equity on 25–26 March at ADB Headquarters. Senior health officials from 16 developing member countries (DMCs), alongside leading researchers, innovators, and policymakers from across Asia and the Pacific, will engage in discussions on how AI can be governed, financed, and scaled to deliver healthier lives for all. The forum is funded through the High-Level Technology Fund with support from the Government of Japan.
