Embracing the forefront of educational innovation, Professor Gomez pioneered the integration of AI tools like ChatGPT into his teaching practices since their public launch. He has devoted significant time to mastering this emerging AI literacy and actively contributing to the critical conversation around it, highlighted by his five-part series, "Writing in the Age of AI," presented in fall 2023.

These initiatives underscore Professor Gomez's dedication to not only utilizing AI in educational settings but also shaping the discourse on how these technologies can be effectively and responsibly integrated into traditional teaching methodologies.
