?? AI is Reshaping Education, Creativity, and the Workplace—Are We Ready? ??? The conversation around AI isn’t just theoretical anymore—it’s happening in classrooms, design studios, and HR departments right now. In the latest episode of CITL Student Quick Takes, I sat down with three brilliant Illinois students to break it all down: ?? Daisy Castro (Middle Grades Ed / Social Science) on how AI is changing the classroom and what it means for future educators. ?? Bruktawit Yigzaw (Advertising + Studio Art / Minor in Informatics) on AI’s impact on design and creative fields. ?? Abigail Brown (Psychology – Industrial/Organizational / Minor in Leadership Studies) on AI’s role in hiring and workplace management. Big shoutout to Robert Baird, Shenika Glover, and the Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning (CITL), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign team for supporting student voices and fostering these important discussions. How do you see AI shaping your field? #StudentQuickTakes #CITL #Illini #Illinois #GenAI ?? Watch the episode here:
