Artificial intelligence is transforming education, reshaping both how content is delivered and how students learn. From personalized learning experiences to the automation of routine tasks, AI enables faculty to prioritize student engagement, critical thinking, and problem-solving. By handling tasks like grading, feedback, and personalized support, AI frees students to take a more active role in their learning journey. However, this shift from passive to active learning requires more than just a change in teaching methods—it demands a transformation in students' mindsets. Faculty must guide students to become co-creators in the learning process, encouraging them to view AI as a powerful tool for exploration and deeper understanding. By fostering this mindset, students gain autonomy and take ownership of their education while AI facilitates meaningful, engaged learning. For this to succeed, faculty must be intentional in cultivating a dynamic, interactive learning environment where AI enhances, rather than replaces, active participation.
