Writing in the Age of AI: What Faculty Need to Know

What happens to writing when AI can write?

Join OpenAI Academy for a faculty-focused session exploring the evolving role of writing in higher education. As AI tools like ChatGPT become widespread, educators are asking: What does it mean to teach writing today? How do we uphold academic integrity while encouraging student creativity?

We’ll begin with opening remarks from Siya Raj Purohit (OpenAI Education), sharing how this question has surfaced across campuses and how faculty members are transforming curriculum to include AI. Then, Jay Dixit—award-winning writer, former Yale writing professor, and Head of Community for Writers at OpenAI—will lead a guided session on how faculty can thoughtfully integrate ChatGPT into the writing process. Jay will offer ethical frameworks, sample classroom prompts, and practical strategies to enhance learning while maintaining rigor.

Whether you're revising your syllabus or rethinking assessments, this session will offer actionable insights for the semester ahead.
