Rather than treating AI solely as a challenge to academic integrity, many faculty members are approaching it as a creative and analytical medium.

Assistant Professor Parantap Bhatt in the Faculty of Design has been incorporating generative AI in third-year residential and hospitality studios in the Environmental Design program as well as in fourth-year interaction/experience design studios, which bring together students from Architecture, Interior Design, Advertising, Graphic Design, Industrial Design and Digital Futures.

“In my teaching, AI is positioned not simply as a tool for output, but as a cognitive collaborator within the design process,” says Bhatt.
