Navigating the Artificial Intelligence Jungle
The rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has sparked both enthusiasm for its potential and concern about academic integrity and human autonomy. Within higher education, these tensions invite deeper reflection on AI literacy and agency among educators and researchers. This paper explores how two early-career researchers and university teaching staff navigate their agency when engaging with Generative AI (GenAI) tools such as C…
