Manifesto for Generative AI in Higher Education

Responsibility, Ethics, and Power

Statement 18 of 30

GenAI is not one thing - it lives differently in every discipline.

Why this matters

Its meaning shifts across disciplines and what enlightens one may obscure another. Education does not need uniformity, but plurality with each discipline finding its own pathway. Rather than universal rules, disciplines must co-create their own frameworks in conversation with their students and communities.

A question for reflection

What does responsible GenAI use look like in your discipline that might not translate to any other?
