This course explores the intersection of artificial intelligence with literature, history, ethics, and other humanistic disciplines. Participants will delve into AI’s transformative role in reshaping the way we study and teach the humanities across all grade levels, with a focus on thoughtful integration into the classroom. By examining pedagogical strategies that emphasize critical thinking and human intelligence, this course highlights the importance of maintaining empathy, creativity, and ethical reasoning, while addressing the biases and limitations of AI. Educators will gain insights into AI's potential to enhance, rather than replace, human engagement in the humanities. It is especially suited to educators who want to integrate AI thoughtfully without compromising critical thinking, emotional intelligence, or deep interpretive work.
