At some point in the last two years, most universities will have convened a working group on generative AI. Some will have produced policy frameworks. Many will have run staff development sessions. A good number will have updated their academic integrity guidelines, published guidance for students, or commissioned an internal review. All of this activity is genuine, and some of it is genuinely useful.

Step into the lobby of almost any university, and you will likely find a mission statement etched onto the glass façade. It usually speaks of "excellence", "innovation", and "global citizenship". Yet, a mere few hundred metres away in a lecture hall, the reality often feels worlds apart from those lofty aspirations.
Generative AI is no longer a futuristic dream; it is here, and it is transforming higher education as we know it. From personalised learning experiences to intelligent tutoring systems, AI is revolutionising the teaching and learning landscape, presenting both opportunities and challenges. For anyone involved in higher education, understanding these changes and adapting to them is crucial.
