Should AI Training Start With Faculty Or Students?
Faculty. Without capable faculty, student programmes have no support structure and institutional rules never get set.
Through faculty first. Teachers and faculty need practical AI capability for lesson design, assessment and administration, along with clear rules on academic integrity. Institutional leaders need digital adoption and data capability, and departments need delivery capability for the schemes and infrastructure that carry the investment. Student-facing programmes work only once faculty capability exists.
Departments are being asked to adopt AI, improve service delivery and account for outcomes at the same time. The administrations that build education & ai capability early set the standard others are later measured against.
