The course is described as a lab focused on building your own chatbot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The school plans to integrate AI topics into existing classes, but critics argue that this dispersal makes it difficult to track covered subjects and overlooks the need for dedicated courses on important topics like ethics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Ethical and environmental issues related to AI are important aspects that should be comprehensively addressed; however, the current structure of the minor, with limited new courses, raises concerns about its comprehensiveness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; To ensure students are fully informed about the risks associated with AI, there is a call for more transparency in existing course materials and the introduction of more dedicated courses on AI ethics. The potential for a graduate certificate in AI further emphasizes the need for a thorough and well-planned curriculum.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COLUMN: The artificial intelligence minor needs a major rework \u2013 The Daily Eastern News https:\/\/www.dailyeasternnews.com\/2026\/06\/06\/column-the-artificial-intelligence-minor-needs-a-major-rework\/&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":227261,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.dailyeasternnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PROFILE_02_O.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20,19],"class_list":["post-227260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-generative-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227260"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227260"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227260\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":227262,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227260\/revisions\/227262"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
