AI Studio:

The AI Studio focuses on building AI literacy as a thinking capability, not tool proficiency alone. Faculty in the AI Studio help students learn how to frame problems, write meaningful prompts, evaluate outputs, and exercise judgment, ethics, and critique when working with intelligent systems. We look for educators who are comfortable experimenting with AI in live contexts, can demystify emerging technologies, and can translate AI use into design, business, and professional workflows. The emphasis is on co-agency with AI: knowing when to rely on it, when to question it, and when to override it.

Within the School of Complete Professional, the AI Studio integrates artificial intelligence with human intelligence so graduates can work responsibly and decisively in environments where AI is already a co-worker, not a future possibility.
