Manifesto for Generative AI in Higher Education

Imagination, Humanity, and the Future

Statement 22 of 30

Every technological shift doesn't just change tools; it changes power.

Why this matters

GenAI carries political, economic, and social consequences. Education must make these visible by revealing who gains, who is left behind, and why it matters. To stay silent is to side with inequity; to teach critically is to challenge it.

A question for reflection

Who gains and who is left behind by GenAI in your context - and how visible is that in what you teach?
