What skillsets are employers looking for when it comes to Gen AI? This panel session will feature a range of employers
who will engage us in a boots-on-the-ground discussion around what they need when it comes to Gen AI skills from their new hires.
The aim here is to educate us on what we should be teaching our students when it comes to Gen AI skills: if we know what employers want,
then we know what our students should have, and therefore what we should be teaching.

This interactive discussion will explore how professors are using AI to help students learn to code.
The goal is to equip educators with practical and innovative strategies for integrating AI as a learning tool in coding courses. We want to move beyond the "cheating" / academic
integrity aspects and focus more on AI as a powerful learning tool, and how students can use it effectively and ethically.
