The rest of the robots: Generative AI in post-introductory computing education

Generative AI (GenAI) is playing an increasingly influential role in computing education across all levels, offering new opportunities to support both teaching and learning. However, its effective integration raises critical concerns related to trust, academic integrity, and broader social and ethical implications. While substantial attention has been given to GenAI use in introductory programming courses (e.g., CS0/CS1), there remains a notable gap in research addressing its application in upper-level computing courses, such as software engineering, human-computer interaction, algorithms, operating systems, and theoretical computer science. This working group report presents two complementary studies: A systematic literature review of GenAI interventions in upper-level computing education, and a survey of computing instructors on their practices and perspectives regarding GenAI integration in these contexts. Based on the combined findings, this report presents an overview of current practice and practical guidance for computing instructors. The report is intended to inform the design of engaging, pedagogically sound, and forward-looking curricula that align with modern educational and workforce standards and expectations.
