Grizz Core is aiming to prepare students for success in personal, professional, and academic life -- understanding the possibilities and problems related to generative AI tools and large language models is an important part of success in our current environment.
Developing critical thinking skills is a core component in both Grizz Core models, and research on generative AI's impact on critical thinking skills is emerging and not wholly settled.
Different disciplines and indeed scholars within a discipline conceive of these tools in different ways -- there isn't a single consensus on best practices or use across the board.
However, we do recognize that generative AI and large language models impact -- and will continue to impact -- students' lives in myriad ways and contexts.
As such, Grizz Core curricula will intentionally address these tools, as appropriate, and will evolve as our understandings around this topic continue to develop.
