José Antonio Bowen, a pioneer in active learning and the use of technology in the classroom, will present a free public talk on “Educating Humans to Thrive in an AI World” Monday, April 14 at 8:30 a.m. in the Roland Dille Center for the Arts Gaede Stage. It is hard to ignore the AI threats to economic, academic, political, environmental and psychological well-being. Higher education, however, finds itself in a unique position to understand and combat these threats: asking better questions and judging answers has always been at the center of a critical thinking education. Education manages the tension between learning to be fully human and preparing for a successful career. Since expertise is also essential to using AI well, we will need to prepare students to be experts in a world where AI can produce better work than many interns. Understanding how we might (or might not) use AI to support human thriving will be essential as we begin the process of maintaining the best of our tradition while rethinking curriculum for a new world.
Bowen has been leading innovation and change for over 40 years at Stanford, Georgetown, and the University of Southampton (UK). Under his leadership as president of Goucher College, the school was voted a Top 10 Most Innovative College. He does innovation, pedagogy and D&I consulting and training in both higher education and for Fortune 500 companies including AT&T, Chevron, Pfizer, Toyota, and Walmart.
