In an interview, SMU Professor of Information Systems (Education) and Vice Provost (Education) Venky Shankararaman highlighted the need to rethink university curricula, assessments, and pedagogy to balance critical thinking with responsible AI use. He stressed that educators must treat AI as a support tool and not a source of truth, while redesigning assignments to include personal reflection, in-class components, and oral presentations that go beyond what AI can replicate.
