Sebastian Steffen, an assistant professor at Boston College, is actively working to integrate AI into education, emphasizing the importance of early exposure to AI tools for students across disciplines. He believes that AI should not be seen as exclusively for technical fields but as a resource that, when used correctly, can foster creativity and enhance productivity in various educational contexts. Steffen employs AI models from Cohere in his research and his advanced data management and analytics course, where he teaches students strategic prompt engineering and programmatic AI use. His approach is to empower students to use AI for ambitious projects that were previously unfeasible, highlighting the importance of understanding both the capabilities and limitations of AI. He draws parallels between AI and calculators, suggesting that just as calculators advanced mathematical education, AI could similarly revolutionize learning if students maintain an independent learning mentality. The partnership between Cohere and Boston College's Carroll School of Management aims to support this educational transformation, acknowledging the role of educators in navigating the complexities of AI integration.
