NEW YORK - In the last two years, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) - particularly generative AI (GenAI) models like ChatGPT - has become increasingly prevalent in educational settings. Students are leveraging these technologies to assist with various aspects of their academic work, from generating ideas and drafting essays to solving complex problems and conducting research. Integrating AI in education undoubtedly offers numerous benefits, such as more personalized learning experiences and enhanced productivity. However, GenAI also presents major challenges that educators must address to ensure effective and ethical use. Professors are therefore now seeking ways to manage the use of AI in classrooms and medical studies. The primary concern is maintaining academic integrity while also controlling the potential of AI to enhance learning outcomes. In medical education - where precision and critical thinking are crucial - AI must be carefully regulated to avoid overreliance on tech and ensure that students develop essential hands-on skills and clinical judgment. In this article, I will give best practices based on my own experience as a professor of entrepreneurship - including how I use GenAI with my students and how I make sure that using these kinds of tools is not forbidden during exams or class. Instead, I strive to show students how to use them.
