The Ohio State Will Require College Students to Be Fluent on AI

IBL News | New York

The Ohio State has launched a program named “AI Fluency Initiative” that will embed AI education throughout the undergraduate curriculum and ask every student to use artificial intelligence.

“Through AI Fluency, Ohio State students will be fluent in both their major field of study and the application of AI in that area,” Ravi V. Bellamkonda, executive vice president and provost at the Ohio State University (OSU), said.

OSU will officially incorporate AI fluency into every major, offering general education courses and helping faculty adapt existing courses to incorporate AI.

The university will now require students to take an AI skills seminar, incorporating workshops into the existing framework, such as the First-Year Seminar program.
