Conversations around AI in education usually circle around assessment and integrity. This is critical, but perhaps more foundational questions exist around learning, thinking, and being in a world where AI is rapidly affecting work and life. In this session, we will explore some of the deeper questions that seem to be surfacing, three and a half years on. We will take the focus away from just AI and examine learning and human agency, and the structures that promote or restrict their development in a contemporary higher education context. We will explore core questions including what we value, what we measure, and what we incentivise, to challenge ourselves to think about the core mission of education.
