Manifesto for Generative AI in Higher Education

Imagination, Humanity, and the Future

Why this matters

The limitations of GenAI can spark new forms of expression where human imagination and creativity expand and flourish. Constraint becomes a canvas, not a cage.

A question for reflection

When has a limitation of GenAI pushed you or your students toward something more creative?
