Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming every walk of life and has impacted every discipline, science, engineering, medicine, business, humanities, arts, education, etc. According to Pew Research Center’s July 2023 report, “In 2022, 19 percent of American workers were in jobs that are the most exposed to AI, in which the most important activities may be either replaced or assisted by AI.” The importance of AI is broadly recognized and AI literacy for every major is gaining traction.
