AI++ / AI--: Applying Cyber Risk Thinking to Generative AI in the Classroom
Thursday June 25, 2026 11:00am - 11:45am CDT
BLDG T-926
As generative AI tools become embedded in teaching and learning, students must learn not only how to use these technologies but also how to evaluate, validate, and take responsibility for their outputs. In cyber-related fields, unverified or inaccurate AI-generated content introduces real risk, affecting documentation, policy analysis, compliance, and technical decision-making.

This session applies cyber risk thinking to generative AI use in the classroom, framing AI use as a system that must be assessed for potential threats, vulnerabilities, impact, and appropriate safeguards. Rather than framing AI as inherently good or bad, the presenters focus on helping students recognize tradeoffs, understand where AI adds value, and where human judgment remains essential.

The presentation brings together a community college faculty member and a four-year university faculty member to share lessons learned from teaching with generative AI across the academic pipeline. Drawing on experiences from Privacy for Professionals and related courses, the presenters share best practices for teaching ethical and responsible AI use in ways that prepare students for academic progression and professional expectations.

The session also highlights how the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS) was used to clarify acceptable AI use and to reinforce accountability, transparency, and verification of AI-generated work. Attendees will leave with practical strategies and classroom-ready case studies they can adapt for embedding ethical AI use, risk awareness, and student responsibility into business, policy, IT, and cybersecurity curricula.
