“In the past decade, we have witnessed rapid transformations in the world due to the revolution in technology and generative AI. These changes present new opportunities, but also risks and challenges with regards to how human society confronts the complexities of the 21st century.”
Upon assuming the role of president, Prof. Boaz Ganor announced an institutional reform at the university. He developed an innovative model for teaching and learning, which combines changes in content across the various disciplines with a long-term approach that includes a structural change of the degree programs.
The goal of the reform, which will begin to be implemented this year, is to adapt the content, study methods, and later also the structure of the curricula, to the generative AI revolution. In this framework, courses have been designed to acquaint students with the AI revolution within the various disciplines taught at the university.
The reform will be carried out through cooperation between the schools, based on the foundational principle of interdisciplinarity that has guided the university since its establishment thirty years ago.
