Students have used AI to train chatbots to assist them on exams <a href=\"https:\/\/dailybusiness.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">and catalogue dance moves<\/a> to help the dancers protect their intellectual property.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k00083b6r4372vz3f@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">The school now offers more than 200 AI courses, such as on AI basics and ethics, for any student or faculty member regardless of their technical knowledge. It also has AI certificates for specific disciplines, like hospitality and public health.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k00093b6rvr1f0f4k@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\u201cWe don\u2019t think it\u2019s appropriate or useful to relegate (AI education) to the computer science department or the College of Engineering,\u201d said Joseph Glover, provost of the University of Florida. \u201cBecause then whenever you want to do something (with AI), you have to have an engineer sitting next to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000a3b6r29mli1jt@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">There is a nuanced and polarizing debate over AI\u2019s impact on education and <a href=\"https:\/\/dailybusiness.info\/\">early-stage careers<\/a>. Students and faculty grapple with a world in which jobs could look fundamentally different because of a rapidly evolving technology. Those concerns exist at the University of Florida, too, where some students have pushed back on the technology despite the school\u2019s AI-forward approach, and reports of academic misconduct involving AI are starting to emerge.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000b3b6r2a9gs5lc@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">One way the school hopes to address those concerns is through an international summit, where it hosts panels about AI\u2019s role in education and shares its blueprint with other schools. Nearly 500 people from 10 countries and 40 US states attended the conference in 2026.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000c3b6rluwbumeo@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\u201cPretty soon AI is going to become such as the internet. It\u2019s just a technology,\u201d said Andrea Ramirez Salgado, a professor in the department of engineering who helped develop the university\u2019s AI curriculum. \u201cBut if you really want to lead and drive that innovation, you need to be able to understand what is under the hood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000e3b6r4u8dbpg3@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">The University of Florida had an early advantage: its close ties to Chris Malachowsky, cofounder of Nvidia, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailybusiness.info\/\">the $5 trillion juggernaut<\/a> that\u2019s been at the center of the AI boom.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000f3b6rbkddiytb@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Malachowsky graduated from the university in 1980 and sits on its Foundation Board, which supports the school through various investment and advocacy efforts.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000g3b6r42bq1ybb@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Back in 2018, he told the University of Florida\u2019s Board of Trustees that the school should start building a strategy around AI. Then in 2019, a meeting between Malachowsky and Glover set the stage for the program\u2019s founding.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000h3b6r4v8j8au2@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">The school wanted Malachowsky to invest in a new engineering program. But the Nvidia cofounder had another idea: He asked the provost what the school would do with an AI supercomputer \u2013 a high-performance computer often used for research purposes.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000i3b6rxwdfmmfr@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\u201cAnd his response, and I\u2019m telling you with almost no hesitation was, \u2018I don\u2019t know, I think I\u2019ll teach AI across the curriculum,\u2019\u201d Malachowsky told CNN.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000j3b6ro75ppegz@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">In addition to the supercomputer, called the HiPerGator, the school hired 100 new faculty members to help incorporate AI across all of its 16 colleges. A total of $95 million was invested to start the program from Nvidia, Malachowsky, the University of Florida and the state.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000k3b6r6kxelfuk@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Employers are increasingly looking for AI experience. More than one third of entry-level jobs listed AI skills as a requirement, the National Association of Colleges and Employers said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/dailybusiness.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spring 2026 report.<\/a> That\u2019s up almost three-fold compared to last year.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000l3b6r0bs3cmww@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Even if they didn\u2019t widely incorporate AI into their curriculum, academic institutions have long paid attention to the technology. Carnegie Mellon University started offering <a href=\"https:\/\/dailybusiness.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an AI undergraduate degree in 2018.<\/a> And the Milwaukee School of Engineering announced <a href=\"https:\/\/dailybusiness.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a new academic center<\/a> aimed at boosting AI education in 2017.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000m3b6r2ybl1eaz@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Unlike the University of Florida, \u201cthere are more institutions that are just trying to educate their faculty about, \u2018What is AI?\u2019 and how to use it,\u201d said Kelvin Bentley, director of community practice on micro credentials at the National Association of Higher Education Systems.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000o3b6r38fyilp3@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Emma MacKie, an assistant professor in the University of Florida\u2019s department of geological sciences, was one of the faculty members hired to jumpstart its efforts.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000p3b6r4g6wh6af@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">She and her students use AI and other tools to simulate a landscape by crunching huge amounts of data and physical models. This past year, they mapped the topography beneath sheets of ice in Antarctica.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000q3b6rsw4vopa1@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">One challenge is keeping up with tech that is always evolving. In one instance, a lab activity MacKie prepared was dysfunctional by the time she taught it in class, she said.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98k000r3b6rd8w9mssm@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\u201cIt was definitely an \u2018oh crap\u2019 moment,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m in front of my class, and my code doesn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98l000s3b6rgitvqnas@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Pecora also said not all classes are as useful as they could be. A class about AI in business that he took in 2024 taught students how to automate some tasks by writing code. But he said it felt more like a crash course on the coding language Python than how to apply AI.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98l000t3b6rquwa2xm3@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">AI can also change how assignments are evaluated. MacKie allows her students to use AI freely but now grades term papers based on factors like originality and \u201cthe maturity of the ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98l000u3b6r1iqb10ti@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\u201cIt\u2019s easier to get a \u2018C\u2019 on that assignment, but more difficult to get an \u2018A,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98l000w3b6ryzg35l2p@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Early concerns about AI in education mostly focused on how it could be used for cheating. But more existential worries have since surfaced, such as whether students are being adequately prepared and the tech\u2019s impact on career opportunities.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3m1ui7000e3b6r42hpqp43@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Graduates at the University of Arizona and University of Central Florida <a href=\"https:\/\/dailybusiness.info\/\">booed mentions of AI <\/a>during commencement speeches last spring. Forty percent of the more than 1,000 students from 203 institutions surveyed by education news website <a href=\"https:\/\/dailybusiness.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inside Higher Education<\/a> in May said they were worried that AI is reducing their ability to think independently.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98l000x3b6rfzjbbnzt@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Only 7% of students said they were \u201call in\u201d and \u201cgenuinely excited\u201d about AI\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98l000y3b6r0q5y5661@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\u201cI think there are a lot of students who\u2026 they feel very unsettled by AI,\u201d said MacKie. \u201cThey don\u2019t like what it\u2019s doing to their career prospects and have very little faith in the outputs, which I think is healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98l000z3b6rq9i2m8si@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Even at the University of Florida, there are concerns. One professor stopped assigning homework altogether and based grades solely on in-class exams to prevent AI usage, said Tristan Robbins, a rising senior studying sports management, statistics and economics at the University of Florida.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98l00103b6r16cugrgx@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Academic misconduct reports mentioning AI increased from zero in fall 2021 to 66 as of April 2025, according to public records reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/dailybusiness.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Independent Florida Alligator<\/a> this year. (A spokesperson for the university said that it promotes the responsible use of AI and that students must \u201cstrictly comply with the instructions of their course instructor, faculty advisor or other academic supervisor\u201d when using AI for academic purposes).<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98l00113b6rrak9210z@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Additionally<strong>, <\/strong>Salgado said students are worried about AI\u2019s environmental impact and say they feel less ownership over their work.<\/p>\n<p data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmt3ax98l00123b6rfh9bftao@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Nvidia\u2019s Malachowsky acknowledged that these questions are difficult to solve.
