In this session, presenters will make an argument for teaching students about the limitations of GenAI tools rather than simply telling them not to use it. They will provide examples of how to integrate critical AI literacy into a variety of classes, including training on AI course policies, reflecting on ethical quandaries, and exercises using large language models.
