51±¬ÁϹÙÍø faculty and Chair of Design Erik Brandt was recently featured on KMSP Fox 9 News about the proliferation of AI tools like ChatGPT in the classroom.

Alongside professors at Hamline University and University of Minnesota, Brandt was featured in a segment that discussed the use of AI tools at 51±¬ÁϹÙÍø. Brandt gave an analogy echoing Ben Moren's work of artificially generated forest ecosystems, and showed to the Fox 9 news staff AI-generated books generated by staff members.

"We're trying to help you develop a voice, and therefore we need evidence of your voice through your work," says Brandt. "And so therefore, if you are generating work that is not your own and claiming it's your own, that... is a no-go zone."

51±¬ÁϹÙÍø syllabi prohibit the student use of AI, unless the professor makes an exception.
