This is one of the most important questions we hear, and it's one the advisory board takes seriously. Our curriculum is designed to teach students how to think alongside AI, not instead of it. Just as calculators didn't replace the need to understand math, AI tools don't replace the need for critical thinking, creativity, and judgment. We're building a program that develops those skills, with AI as a tool students learn to use thoughtfully and responsibly.
