Designed for faculty, advisors, and academic leaders, this book empowers readers to navigate change with wisdom and confidence—turning uncertainty into leadership.
Description
We are living through the most profound transformation in education since the invention of the printing press. At the center of this seismic shift stands artificial intelligence—an invisible yet omnipresent force reshaping how students learn, how knowledge is created, and how intellectual work is evaluated.
Yet many educators—especially those supervising advanced scholarship—find themselves unprepared for this new era. Doctoral faculty, long regarded as guardians of scholarly rigor, are now navigating a landscape that feels disorienting and unfamiliar. While students experiment with generative AI, many faculty still rely on frameworks born in the 19th and 20th centuries. The result is a growing disconnect between how learning occurs and how it is guided, mentored, and assessed.
Across classrooms and disciplines, one question echoes: “Is this cheating?” But in the age of AI, that question has become nearly impossible to define or detect. The real challenge is not whether AI can outsmart us—but whether we can evolve fast enough to teach, mentor, and evaluate with it.
Faculty in the AI Era does not treat AI as a threat or novelty—it offers a principled, practical roadmap for reimagining education in this transformed world. Written for teachers, advisors, and academic leaders from K–12 to doctoral advisors, this book asks:
- How can we preserve rigor while enabling innovation?
- What new supervisory and evaluative skills must educators master?
- What does “originality” mean when machines write fluently?
- How do we uphold ethical standards when AI is everywhere?
This book calls on educators to lead with clarity, courage, and creativity—to redefine integrity and mentorship for an AI-saturated age. Whether you supervise dissertations, design courses, or guide research, you stand at the frontier of educational reinvention. What you do next will determine not whether faculty remain relevant—but whether we become more essential than ever.
Welcome to the new frontier of education. The future of integrity, teaching, and human learning begins here.
