Civic Engagement Theme
2026-27 Theme: Truth and Integrity in an Age of AI
As we live through the early stages of an artificial intelligence revolution, we are faced with new versions of questions that humans have wrestled with throughout our existence. What does it mean to live authentically when AI can seemingly replicate many things that we have thought of as being uniquely created by humans? How do we accentuate the beneficial aspects of AI while guarding against negative applications? To what extent can AI tools be useful for diagnostics or even companionship? What kinds of protections need to be put in place? How have professions found appropriate and productive ways to incorporate AI into work? In the context of Bluffton’s Honor Code, how can we find helpful ways to use AI while remaining true to academic integrity? In the course of the 2026-27 academic year, we will explore these and many other questions.
