Ep. 33 Teaching AI Literacy in Higher Education with Allison Vaughn & D.J. Hopkins
Nik Janos and Zach Justus

What does it actually mean to be AI literate in higher education? In this episode of Unfixed, we sit down with Allison Vaughn and D.J. Hopkins from San Diego State University to explore how one institution is building AI literacy for faculty, staff, and students. We discuss what belongs in an AI literacy curriculum, how to teach skills that seem to change every few months, and whether AI literacy could eventually become as fundamental to teaching as disciplinary expertise or digital literacy.
