Human + AI Workforce Series

Human + AI: The Future Military Workforce

Built from the Industry Intelligence Report: students read a real publication as a case study, verify its claims against cited sources, weigh a $600–900M AI investment with a cost-benefit grid, and defend a decision as the accountable human.

Transportation · TRANS-101

Human + AI: Transportation Systems and the Human Leader

Lesson 1 of the Transportation series: define transportation systems, differentiate modes and their effects on society, and direct AI through a truck-vs.-train-vs.-plane decision — the team signs the decision, not the AI.

Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources · Course 8073

Human + AI: Precision Agriculture and the Human Leader

An AI says double the fertilizer on Field 7; the farmer's boots say otherwise. Students interrogate sensor data like scientists, check the AI against the field, weigh yield vs. cost vs. runoff, and sign the decision as the accountable humans.

Architecture & Construction · Course 8437

Human + AI: Architecture & Construction and the Human Leader

An AI design tool produced a complete pavilion plan with load claims — but the scale math and the force analysis don't check out. Students audit the design, verify the physics and the scale, and sign the decision as the accountable humans.

Arts, AV Technology & Communications · Course 11103-I

Human + AI: Arts, AV Technology & Communications and the Human Leader

An AI generated a polished school news video — but the audit finds a fabricated quote, a synthetic voice, and an uncredited image. Students verify every claim, check consent and copyright, and sign the release decision as the accountable humans.

Business Management & Administration · Course 6135

Human + AI: Business Management & Administration and the Human Leader

An AI wrote a complete launch plan for a student-run kiosk — budget, pricing, and forecast. But a market statistic doesn't exist, a major cost is missing, and the brand name is trademarked. Students audit the numbers, verify the claims, and sign the launch decision as the accountable humans.

Education & Training · Intro to Virginia Teachers for Tomorrow · Course 9060

Human + AI: Education & Training and the Human Leader

An AI wrote a complete 30-minute mini-lesson for a 2nd-grade classroom — but its fun fact is fabricated, the activity is above the children's developmental level, and the answer key is wrong. Students audit the lesson like future teachers and sign the teach / fix / don't-teach decision as the accountable humans.

Information Technology · Cybersecurity Fundamentals · Course 6302

Human + AI: Information Technology and the Human Leader

An AI security scanner found a flaw in the school’s attendance app and wrote the fix — but the finding might be a false positive, and the patch might break the morning sync. Students audit the finding, review the patch, and sign the deploy / revise / hold decision as the accountable humans. Lesson 1 of the AI-Assisted Cyber Defense curriculum unit.
