AI in your studies – from quick answers to in-depth learning
Generative AI is here to stay, and at AAU we see it as a competence you need to master. But AI in an educational context is about more than just quick answers; it is about strengthening your professional judgment and your ability to solve complex problems.
As a student, you work within an academic practice and a number of rules that help define the framework for projects and assignments as well as exams. It can be tempting to let the machine do the hard work, but the way to acquiring strong academic competencies is through in-depth contemplation and critical dialogue. A dialogue that must take place with your classmates, teachers and supervisors, and with the technology.
