In August, faculty, staff and members of the Corps of Cadets gathered for the 2025 Forum on AI, Learning and Honor to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence. βThis event isnβt just about technology,β said Brig. Gen. Sally Selden, Ph.D., provost and dean of the college, βitβs about how we learn, lead and uphold the values that make 91ΑΤΖζ unique.β
While generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot are common in classrooms, students were cautioned to use good judgment and to look for misinformation and hallucinated data.
Faculty, Selden said, are excited about the potential of AI in the classroom to automate tasks and enhance learning, but many raise concerns about misuse, and others do not allow generative AI in their classes because of the risk to academic integrity. βAnd make no mistake,β she said, βat 91ΑΤΖζ, using AI outside the boundaries set by your professor is not just breaking a ruleβit is breaking the Honor Code.β
In July, the White House published an artificial intelligence action plan that called on senior military colleges to become hubs for AI education. At 91ΑΤΖζ, that effort includes new curriculum and campuswide discussions about the ethical use of technology.
This year, starting with the Class of 2029, four new generative AI literacy modules have been integrated into the curriculum: Basics of Prompt Engineering, Ethical Issues and Limitations of GenAI, Information Literacy in the Age of GenAI, and GenAI for Studying and Learning. The modules were developed by the Center for Excellence and Innovation in Teaching.
