The rapid integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into higher education presents both instructional opportunities and persistent challenges for teaching and learning in colleges of agriculture. The objective of this poster presentation is to analyze an instructional approach used in a digital media & learning in agricultural education course that includes agriculture teachers, Cooperative Extension agents, and 4-H agents. The approach centers on two instructor-developed resources, “10 Challenges & Solutions for Teachers Using AI” and “10 Challenges & Solutions for Students Using AI,” through the lens of the Brookings Institution’s Prosper, Prepare, and Protect pillars. These resources were implemented through a weekly assignment titled the AI Discovery Showcase, in which students alternated between examining AI tools for instructional use and AI tools or concepts for student learning. The documents provided a shared language for identifying common challenges such as overreliance, unclear academic integrity boundaries, privacy risks, and uneven access, while offering actionable classroom strategies aligned with each Brookings pillar. Instruction emphasized purposeful AI use to strengthen learning (Prosper), explicit modeling of AI literacy and expectations (Prepare), and safeguards for privacy and well-being (Protect). Evidence of impact is drawn from instructor observations, student reflections, and assignment artifacts. Students demonstrated increased reflective judgment about when AI supported or diminished learning, along with a clearer understanding of ethical boundaries. Participants also demonstrated growth in translating AI concepts into practical applications for classrooms, Extension programming, and youth development contexts. In summary, this instructional approach shows how these research-based tools can help instructors apply AI research and policy guidance in everyday teaching. The framework can be adapted across disciplines to support responsible, learning-focused AI use. Poster visitors will receive copies of the resources discussed and a QR code to access digital versions for class integration.
