Fernandes and Glover highlight how AI can personalize learning experiences, democratize access to knowledge, and reshape the workforce by automating routine tasks and augmenting human decision making. They emphasize the importance of domain expertise, ethical AI use, and equipping both students and faculty with tools to thrive in an AI-driven future.
