Liberal arts students often understand AI ethics and implications faster than technical students. Their conceptual thinking and cross-disciplinary training make them natural AI stewards for business.
Most universities teach AI ethics wrong by isolating it in standalone courses that students forget immediately. Effective programs embed ethical reasoning throughout technical coursework, use real failure cases from named companies, measure actual learning outcomes, and develop judgment through structured discussion of messy real-world dilemmas where multiple valid approaches exist.
Most companies hire AI ethics officers as advisors without authority. This is why your governance fails and how to structure the role correctly with real decision power.
