In a new article for Maclean’s, Anna Robbins (Acadia Divinity College) goes into detail about her experiment in running what she calls the country’s “first AI-generated theology course.” While ChatGPT could instantly make a course outline, she notes that it was not able to offer depth or criticality in its lectures or assessments when tasked with conducting the course itself. Robbins then discusses the implications of the experiment and the uses and limitations of AI in the modern world. “For all its challenges, AI is pushing postsecondary schools back toward what education ought to be: a way to build one’s critical capacity, ethics and self-understanding,” writes Robbins.
