AI and Professional Formation

Career Readiness

Seattle University prepares students to lead in a world where AI is increasingly integrated into every field and profession. This preparation includes building AI literacy that is responsive to students’ disciplines, career paths and responsibilities as future professionals. Students are encouraged to understand how AI tools work, where they can be useful, and where they require caution, critique and ethical judgment. More than technical readiness, professional formation at Seattle University calls students to consider how technology can be used in service of others. By developing the ability to use, question and apply AI responsibly, graduates are prepared to help shape a more just and humane future of work.
