The Global Adoption of Generative AI in Higher Education: Policies, Challenges, and Future Directions

In this episode of SHIFTERLABS: The Future of Education, we explore the paper “Generative AI in Higher Education: A Global Perspective of Institutional Adoption Policies and Guidelines”, authored by Yueqiao Jin, Lixiang Yan, Vanessa Echeverria, Dragan Gašević, and Roberto Martinez-Maldonado from Monash University and Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (Ecuador).

 

This study, published in Computers & Education: Artificial Intelligence, investigates how 40 universities across six global regions are adapting to the rise of Generative AI (GAI) in education. We discuss key findings related to:

🔹 Institutional policies and ethical frameworks for AI use in academia.

🔹 The role of faculty, students, and administrators in ensuring responsible AI adoption.

🔹 The impact of AI on assessment, academic integrity, and personalized learning.

🔹 The Diffusion of Innovations Theory as a lens to understand GAI adoption globally.
