) and Information Systems (IS), rather than a complete overhaul of existing curricula andpedagogy. An academic degree in CS or IS with AI components is not expected to radicallytransform these fields but rather to incorporate AI through specific learning objectives. Theproposal does not advocate for curricular changes that would lead to longer graduation times orincreased cognitive load. Based on demand, we can consider several complementary approaches: 1. Minimal Change: Offer AI courses as electives, without altering the core curriculum, as a starting point. 2. Integration of AI Content: Introduce AI-related modules into existing technology- focused courses or integrate them into an introductory course on AI, machine learning
