This year's Nobel Prizes have shown that AI has many uses and an obvious place in higher education. How do students think about AI – not just ChatGPT – and education? How and when should AI be used, and what kinds of AI are involved?
We get both a teacher and student perspective to a broader strategic discussion at KTH about AI tools and skills in our education.
