Notes on AI and Language Variation:
Al capabilities vary significantly across languages. While some languages offer robust integration, others do not yet lend themselves readily to Al incorporation. The CLLC is offering this opportunity for instructors interested in critically exploring AI in the context of language teaching and learning. We are not advocating for its use.
