Integrating Artificial Intelligence Proficiency in Undergraduate Psychology Curricula: Opportunities and Challenges: Comment on Robinson et al. (2026)

Abstract

This commentary discusses Robinson et al. on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) proficiency into undergraduate psychology curricula. It supports the argument that AI literacy and fluency are essential for graduate employability, a position aligning with APA and EFPA guidelines. Authors highlight opportunities such as enhanced learning, innovation and reduced digital inequities. But also discuss challenges, including academic integrity threats, reduced critical thinking, and ethical concerns. In the commentary, additional practical barriers are identified, including faculty training gaps, curriculum overload, infrastructural inequalities and rapid technological change. While integration is necessary, successful implementation requires careful planning, institutional support and ongoing adaptation to evolving educational and technological contexts
