Breaking Boundaries with Generative AI: Good Practice of Unleashing the Power of ChatGPT for Inter- and Transdisciplinary Breakthroughs in the Age of Complexity

Abstract

The argument over how technology will impact society has heated up with the rise of artificial intelligence, propelling the use of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools to the forefront of our discussions in the academy and the media. We have a responsibility in higher education to learn and take advantage of the generative AI tools¿ full potential, bringing about a revolution in the way students learn, teachers teach, and honors-type of education can bring solutions to complex, real-world problems we face every day. Our honors program graduates play important roles in shaping the world we live in, and we owe it to them to prepare them for a world where they will work collaboratively with AI, where the ability to do so will make them more competitive. AI has crossed the threshold and the world will never be the same. Now is the time for us to act. Our students will use the technology whether we know it or not. Perhaps we should tap them to help us figure out jointly the path ahead.
