The rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in printing technologies is changing the work of industries and the educational paradigm. This research paper explores the manner in which the printing curriculum can be efficiently managed and re-engineered in order to address the changing needs of AI-powered production space. It follows the development of printing education throughout history and determines how AI can transform design, workflow, and quality management, and suggests a competency-based structure in which curriculum is redesigned. The study is based on the international case-studies that indicate that those institutions which integrate AI-enabled technologies, including predictive analytics, computer vision, and generative design, can attain the quantifiable efficiency, student engagement, and creative innovation. It discusses the necessity of the faculty development, modernizing the infrastructure, and the robust industry-academic partnership to guarantee the topicality and sustainability of the curriculum. Socio-technical and ethical aspects are also tackled in order to encourage responsible AI usage in education. The results bring in a strategic representation of creating adaptive, information-based and innovation-driven printing programs that fulfill the technological progress with the capacity to be creative and ethically accountable.
