Abstract

In response to developments in generative artificial intelligence (AI), Robinson et al. proposed a model for integrating AI skills into the American Psychological Association's resources for undergraduate education. Robinson et al.'s plan would allow psychology to continue its role as a leader in effective education and could attract new students to the field. However, AI skills should not diminish the human skills that are central to psychology. Extensive professional development and financial support will be needed to achieve AI integration, and the timeline and mechanism for change are not yet clear. Despite some uncertainties, educators should proceed with adapting the psychology curriculum to include AI skills.
