Summary In this final episode of "AI Goes to College," we bring together diverse voices from across FSCJ to reflect on a year of AI integration in higher education. Host Professor Stuart weaves together perspectives from faculty, administrators, and students to create a portrait of how artificial intelligence is transforming campus life. Using Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as a framing device,n she explores whether we are creating something beyond our control, and what responsibility educators have in guiding this technology's development. From AI-enhanced Socratic seminars to employee management systems, the episode showcases real-world applications while addressing concerns about critical thinking, the learning process, and the future of education.
