As AI becomes embedded in teaching, research, and professional life, higher education faces not merely a technological challenge but a human one: how to cultivate the intellectual and moral capacities needed to engage AI wisely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinct from tool-driven or policy-oriented accounts of AI in education, this book centers liberal arts ways of knowing—interpretation, ethical reasoning, historical and contextual understanding, communication, creativity, and interdisciplinary thinking—as essential infrastructure for an AI-rich future. Organized into five chapters, the book moves from the inevitability of AI’s presence, to the role of humans as moral agents “behind the wheel,” to the specific skills fostered by liberal arts education, and finally to AI as a complex, interdisciplinary “wicked problem.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarcela Kostihova \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of English and Endowed Chair in the Humanities at Hamline University, USA, and a former Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, School of Education and Leadership, and School of Business.
