About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of AI fluency in liberal arts education with Dr. Rachel Bowser.

In this week’s episode, we speak with Dr. Rachel Bowser of Agnes Scott College about redefining AI fluency as a core component of a liberal arts education. Rather than focusing on technical skills alone, they explore how teaching students to critically evaluate AI—understanding its biases, limitations, and role in learning—can strengthen their ability to think, question, and make meaning.
