Generative AI and the Automated University

Generative AI arrives into a university system that is already to a significant extent automated. Core activities are carried out through digital platforms, key aspects of knowledge work are datafied and algorithmically governed, and university communities are subjected to new digital forms of monitoring and control. Artificial intelligence also has a long history in the academy, both as a subject of research and development, and as a resource for ‘enhancing’ education and scholarship, as well as the administrative functions of the university. In this webinar, three key thinkers on educational automation will address the new challenges, problematics, logics and opportunities presented by generative AI.

Janja Komljenovic (X @J_Kom_) is a Senior Lecturer in Education Futures at the University of Edinburgh. Her research focuses on the political economy of higher education and its digital transformation. She is especially interested in EdTech, digital markets, and datafication in higher education.

Carlo Perotta is Associate Professor of Digital Education at the University of Melbourne. His monograph Plug-And-Play Education: Knowledge and Learning in the Age of Platforms and Artificial Intelligence was recently released by Routledge.

Paul Prinsloo (X @14prinsp @14prinsp@mstdn.social) is currently a Research Professor in Open and Distance eLearning (ODeL) in the Department of Business Management, College of Economic and Management Sciences, University of South Africa (Unisa).
