Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into higher education has significantly transformed computer science curricula. This study explores the impact of AI, particularly tools like OpenAI's GPT-3, on college and university computer science programs. It examines how these AI advancements influence curriculum design, student skill sets, and career implications. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys of computer science students with qualitative interviews of professors. Key findings reveal both the potential benefits and challenges of AI integration, including enhanced learning efficiency, evolving skill requirements, and ethical considerations. The study aims to inform educators, policymakers, and industry professionals about the implications of AI in computer science education and proposes strategies for effectively incorporating AI tools into the curriculum while maintaining foundational learning and ethical standards.
