About

Andrew Peterson is a leading voice at the intersection of computing education and artificial intelligence, with a primary research focus on how generative AI and large language models (LLMs) are reshaping the teaching and learning of programming. His landmark paper, "The Robots are Here: Navigating the Generative AI Revolution in Computing Education" (2023, 8 citations), serves as a foundational roadmap for educators grappling with the sudden ability of AI to generate and interpret source code. In this work, Peterson does not merely highlight the disruption; he critically examines the urgent pedagogical questions raised by these emergent capabilities, offering a framework for integrating AI tools into curricula without sacrificing core computational thinking. His contributions are particularly notable for their timeliness and practical relevance, helping to bridge the gap between rapid technological advancement and classroom reality. As a researcher, Peterson is recognized for his forward-looking perspective, challenging the computing community to rethink assessment, academic integrity, and the very definition of programming literacy in an AI-augmented world. His work continues to influence how institutions worldwide prepare students for a future where human and machine collaboration is the norm.
