Cornerstone University, a Christian institution, is taking a unique approach to artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education. The university has established the President’s Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board, comprising experts in various fields, to guide its AI curriculum, ethics, and long-term strategy.
Embracing AI Responsibly
According to Cornerstone University President Gerson Moreno-Riaño, the goal is to produce graduates who are ‘irreplaceable’ in their fields. This does not mean teaching them to code or focus on AI-driven career paths, but rather nourishing the aspects of their humanity that cannot be replicated by AI.
Moreno-Riaño emphasized the importance of using AI to enhance students’ learning experiences, helping them develop wisdom and discernment. He believes that universities should focus on preparing students to use AI responsibly, rather than simply trying to prevent cheating.
A Christian Approach to AI
Cornerstone University’s approach is distinct in its efforts to adapt to cutting-edge technology while staying true to its Christian values. Moreno-Riaño noted that Christianity has much to offer in understanding the role of AI in society, emphasizing the importance of human dignity and the image of God.
The university’s approach is a departure from the fragmented policies of other institutions, which often lack a coherent strategy for AI. By embracing AI and focusing on responsible use, Cornerstone University aims to lead the way in higher education.
