The emergence of free, powerful, and easy-to-use generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) has caused significant disruption in higher education, as institutions & educators have pondered the implications of student access to tools such as DALL-E and ChatGPT. Many have argued that we are only at the beginning of what will be a significant reshaping of higher education, as sweeping as those that have been affected in the past by computers, the internet, and social media.
