22、the case studies and to develop scenarios and paradigms of what AI-enhanced universities might look like in 2035.We hope that this whitepaper will make an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the future place of AI in our universities,its promise,and potential.We trust the whitepaper w

27、merely accommodating another technological innovation.It fundamentally challenges our assumptions about teaching,learning,research,and the very purpose of universities.This whitepaper,emerging from collaboration across Pacific Rim universities,presents both a framework for action and a call for tran
28、sformative change in how we prepare students,ourselves,and our institutions for an AI-enabled future.Universities currently face unprecedented pressure to respond to generative AI while maintaining the integrity and value of higher education.Current approaches are typically piecemeal and reactive,fo
29、cusing on immediate concerns like academic integrity rather than systematic integration of AI into educational practice in responsible and productive ways.Meanwhile,students already questioning the value of traditional higher education are embracing AI tools regardless of institutional readiness.Our
30、 sector must move swiftly from policing to possibilities,from panic to purpose.Our work has identified five interdependent elements essential for successful generative AI integration,forming the CRAFT framework culture,rules,access,familiarity,and trust.Culture represents both the deepest challenge
31、and greatest opportunity.Beyond regional and institutional differences in generative AI acceptance and adoption,we must address fundamental questions about the universitys role in an AI-enabled world.Rules must move beyond restriction to enablement,with effective governance frameworks providing clea
32、r guidelines while encouraging experimentation and innovation.Assessment practices particularly require fundamental redesign to ensure both validity and relevance in an AI-enabled world.Access remains a critical equity issue without deliberate intervention,AI risks widening existing digital divides.
33、Institutions must ensure equitable access not just to tools but to the infrastructure,support,and opportunities needed to leverage AI effectively.Familiarity requires systematic development across all stakeholders.Beyond basic digital literacy,we need deep understanding of AI capabilities,limitation
34、s,and ethical implications,demanding sustained investment in development and student support.Trust underpins all progress whether between students and educators,institutions and vendors,universities and their communities,or other trust pairs trust must be actively built and maintained through transp
35、arency,collaboration,and demonstrated value.Individual institutional responses are insufficient for the scale of change required.We propose two key priorities for immediate sector-wide action.First,the formation of collaborative clusters where universities move beyond competition to cooperation in k

41、ive AI in higher education:Current practices and ways forward 8 Introduction Motivation Since ChatGPT was released in November 2022,the higher education sector,industry,and wider society have reacted in very different ways to the implications of generative AI for the present and future.For higher ed
42、ucation an initial moral panic was fuelled by immediate concerns around academic integrity.Since then,there has been a gradual and growing acceptance that generative AI is here to stay and we must adapt to its presence and ever-growing capabilities and the opportunities they present,whilst at the sa
43、me time being cognizant of the challenges and limitations.After all,one of the key groups that higher education serves are its students,whom need to prepare for a world where AI is ubiquitous.However,adaptation and adoption in the higher education sector has generally not been systematic.Artificial
44、intelligence could be considered the newest general purpose technology,an advancement like the steam engine or electricity with impacts across society and the economy.Even though the underlying infrastructure needed(connectivity,software,and hardware)are already largely in place to accelerate adopti
45、on,as with other general-purpose technologies it will take time before its full impact is felt,often because workers and organizations need to learn the technology and adapt organizational processes and structures7.Unlike past general-purpose technologies,the capabilities are advancing rapidly makin
46、g it more challenging to adapt to a fast-moving target.Sector challenges These have certainly compounded the lack of systematic engagement in higher education institutions with generative AI across their education,research,and operational functions.Many institutions lack personnel with necessary exp
47、ertise to implement and manage AI effectively8.There are legitimate concerns around data protection,use and misuse of intellectual property,algorithmic bias,academic integrity,and the ethical and responsible use of AI by students and educators9.Regional differences in regulatory environments contrib
48、ute to uneven access to AI tooling and applications10.Inequitable access and the risk of broadening the digital divide are important considerations,particularly in low-and middle-income countries11.Additionally,an existential threat is felt by higher education researchers and educators who may see t

52、 to receiving assistance from AI,they still value the human elements of teacher-student relationships13.These challenges have led to the cautious and somewhat piecemeal approach to generative AI adoption by universities across institutions comprising the Association of Pacific Rim Universities(APRU)
53、.Like industry,where individual experimentation as opposed to strategic organizational engagement has been the prevailing response14,higher education is now at a stage where it needs to transition to a holistic,supported,and scaffolded approach to generative AI adoption.The higher education sector h

62、minating in the creation of models to imagine the future of universities.This workshop highlighted the unprecedented rate and range of disruptions facing the sector,including shifts in perceptions around the value of higher education and employer sentiment.Four models were proposed as provocations f
63、or the future:(i)research collaboratories where students learn through an apprenticeship model and institutions tackle grand global challenges;(ii)the digital university consortia where students learn through a network of experiences from multiple institutions,providing them with marketable skills;(
64、iii)community learning universities which focus on community development and social impact through a small-scale,human-first approach with a diminished role for AI;and(iv)entrenched universities which only change from existing models incrementally and respond slowly to societal and employer expectat
65、ions.Prototypes A creative sandbox workshop(August 2024)turned the models into tangible and testable forms,with the aim of identifying potential issues and opportunities.Five prototypes were developed to test different university models developed in the second workshop,such as the OneUni Alliance wh
66、ere multiple institutions would collaborate to create a personalized learning experience for students who would take multiple courses spanning across different universities.These prototypes allowed the examination of existing policies and practices catalyzed by the disruptive force of generative AI.
67、These included the agility of curriculum processes,encouraging student agency,enabling interdisciplinary learning,integrating learning on AI ethics,evolving roles of faculty,and rethinking institutional governance.The urgency to act The workshops provided a valuable opportunity to share current prac
68、tice and imagine potential futures with a 10+year horizon,uncovering key considerations that institutions need to grapple with right now to prepare for the future.This whitepaper connects some of the shared practices,imagined futures,and emerging considerations with the current Pacific Rim context a
69、nd short-to medium-term actions that institutions should be taking.Association of Pacific Rim Universities Generative AI in higher education:Current practices and ways forward 11 One key immediate challenge facing higher education is the integrity of awarded qualifications.With generative AI increas
70、ingly able to perform well in assessments17,unsupervised assessments are no longer able to assure attainment of learning outcomes.This does not mean that every assessment must now be supervised;rather,it means that assessment redesign is needed so that there is a pedagogically beneficial mixture of
71、secured assessment of learning and open assessment for learning.A more medium-term challenge is the need to adequately prepare students for the workforce.Organizations are adopting generative AI at an accelerating rate but lack employees with the necessary capabilities to maximize the impact of gene
72、rative AI18.If we secure all assessments and lock out generative AI,we will fail to help students engage productively and responsibly with AI.Again,the pedagogically meaningful integration of generative AI into the curriculum,in service of learning disciplinary knowledge,skills,and dispositions,is k
73、ey here.Through this,we have an opportunity to build our students ability to engage with AI productively and responsibly.Another medium-term challenge is reaffirming the role of the university.Student engagement has been a growing issue,exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic,and the allostatic load fr
74、om a cumulation of stressors had made students question the purpose of higher education even before ChatGPT was released19.Since then,generative AI has become an alluring answer to activities which students may perceive as busywork20,which again raises questions around what we are asking students to
75、 do in higher education.The foresight workshop brought this into sharp focus,through a recognition that the current models of university are being disrupted through internal and external forces21.How to use this whitepaper to inform action This whitepaper aims to support institutions to move into th

81、ible nor desirable to restrict,limit,or ban generative AI,nor to be overly fearful of what is left for humans.Rather,our approach is to consider what is now possible because generative AI is here.However,we are mindful of disciplinary and other contexts that necessarily mean we should also not uncri
82、tically embrace AI.To help universities approach this challenge head-on,this whitepaper identifies key phases of development and actions that can be taken by leaders,educators,researchers,and students within their contexts,considering their spheres of control,influence,and concern.These actions are
83、presented in this whitepaper as rubrics which describe,for each of these stakeholder groups,suggested levels of maturity from emerging,to established,to evolved,to extending.As with all rubrics,an individual,group,or institution may not neatly sit within one of these four levels.Development may also
84、 not be linear in all cases.Rather,the rubrics are a suggested starting point to position where one is currently operating,and what actions may be useful to consider as next steps.Acknowledgements The whitepaper has been informed by the virtual and in person workshops23 that have been conducted as p

94、onsibly integrating generative AI into their education,research,and operational functions.A combination of and balance between(1)rules,(2)access,and(3)familiarity is needed to enable appropriate adoption.A lack,or misbalance,of one or more of these areas may lead to ethical,privacy,security,academic
95、 integrity,or other challenges.These three areas are underpinned by a foundational layer of(4)trust between students,educators,leaders,vendors,partners(industry,government,and community),and AI itself.Rules,access,familiarity,and trust are then situated in,and influenced by,an institutions local,reg
96、ional,and even global(5)culture that includes attitudes,philosophies,and perspectives of individuals and groups of society,academia(universities and subunits),and governments.Together,these make the CRAFT framework(Figure 1)for generative AI adoption in higher education.We unpack each of these compo

98、s and ways forward 15 Rules Establishing meaningful rules is critical to establishing the responsible use of generative AI and helps to build trust.These rules include principles,policies,guardrails,and guidelines that govern how individuals within an institution engage with generative AI,as well as
99、 how the institution approaches the technology.At a high level,creation of principles and position statements is one way that many APRU institutions approached their initial response to the technology and its implications,establishing high level rules for engagement with generative AI.One of the mos
100、t obvious and pressing reasons for having rules around generative AI centers on academic integrity and the veracity of higher education awards.That is,given generative AI can produce high quality student-like work25,how should assessments appropriately assure that learning has occurred?In other word
101、s,the focus on assessment should be around validity;that is,are we measuring a students actual capability26?This necessitates reconsideration of assessment regimes,because waiting,or perhaps hoping,for tools to detect writing authored by generative AI models with a sufficiently high degree of accura

105、iversity of the Philippines released principles-based guidelines that balanced positive use with negative impacts,focusing on beneficence,human agency,fairness,safety,environmental sustainability,and more.Australia Australias Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency,the federal regulator of A
106、ustralian universities,has produced a document,Assessment reform for the age of artificial intelligence24,which outlines two key principles:1.Assessment and learning experiences equip students to participate ethically and actively in a society where AI is ubiquitous.2.Forming trustworthy judgements
107、about student learning in a time of AI requires multiple,inclusive and contextualized approaches to assessment These principles encourage institutions to simultaneously engage in integrating generative AI into assessment and learning,whilst assuring that learning has occurred through trustworthy ass

109、27.Between higher education institutions,this will look different depending on the academic context,but the program level will be the natural location to distribute assessments that can assure students have attained learning outcomes,as well as define how,when,and if generative AI can be used in sup
110、port of learning.More broadly,the values of academic integrity(including fairness,honesty,respect,and responsibility)are highly compatible with the legitimate use of generative AI for learning.Having the right rules at an institutional level can therefore catalyze a productive engagement with genera
111、tive AI,beyond the narrow perspective of seeing AI as just cheating.This can help to reduce the worry that is currently pervasive around generative AI use31.Another reason for establishing clear institutional rules revolves around data privacy,intellectual property,and security.There have been well-
112、known cases where private or confidential information has been inadvertently provided to AI vendors,potentially for training future AI models,as part of unprotected conversations.This often occurs due to a lack of clear guidelines or insufficient awareness of rules around appropriate use.These rules
113、 would include the safe use of these applications,such as what data can be provided to them,which are safe to use,27 For example,Elkhatat et al.(2023)Evaluating the efficacy of AI content detection tools in differentiating between human and AI-generated text,https:/ Weber-Wulff et al.(2023)Testing o

119、approach to assessment.A key transformational practice identified by TEQSA in mitigating assessment risk was the two-lane approach to assessment redesign29,where lane 1 supervised assessments were used for the assessment of learning,and lane 2 open assessments were used as assessment for learning.Th
120、e use of AI is scaffolded and supported in lane 2,applying a menu of typologies30 of generative AI use.This was highlighted because a menu analogy emphasizes choice and suitability,as opposed to a traffic light or assessment scale approach which suggests that one can restrict or control AI use(one c

122、).For example,unpublished research findings may be considered too sensitive to share with certain AI applications,including some hosted in the cloud.Cloud-based platforms potentially present risks from unauthorized access and exposing data to these services could compromise security and ownership of
123、 research data.From an education perspective,do educators have the right to upload student work to AI tools without informed consent for the purposes of generating feedback?Establishing rules,considering the pace at which generative AI progresses,and in the face of its ubiquity and ease-of-access,br
124、ings certain challenges.It is important for rules to be as forward-looking as possible and to be revisited regularly as the technology changes32,becomes more widespread and integrated into existing platforms33,and as the culture around generative AI adapts.For example,implementing rules around AI-pr
125、oofing assessments is not forward-looking because AI capabilities will likely advance faster than educators can redesign assessment tasks.As generative AI impacts various disciplines in different ways,it is also important for rules to allow for disciplinary nuances and interpretation34 while also co
126、nsidering and encouraging interdisciplinarity.In many ways,the wide accessibility and use of generative AI-enabled applications amongst the university population has meant that rules have already fallen behind in many institutions,which makes it more difficult to take advantage of benefits and mitig
127、ate risks35.As the most avid(albeit not necessarily productive,sophisticated,or responsible)current users of AI36,students should be central to any discussions around rules.This is an opportunity to engage students as partners and co-creators in defining and applying approaches:as a cohort group,the
128、y are engaged,eager for guidance,and generally aware of how important proficiency with generative AI is going to be as they move through and beyond their time at university.The extensive literature of students as partners as an approach for course design and evaluation offers practical guidance on h
129、ow to approach this37.Looking to the future,it is critical that rules are designed for a future state where AI is increasingly capable and integrated in many digital tools and new,as-yet unknown,possibilities.Rule design also needs to help catalyze and guide a shift towards responsible human-AI coll

145、to discipline-specific applications within certain departments,general purpose AI platforms available across an institution,and ensuring presence of supporting infrastructure.Inequitable access to such a critical technology as generative AI risks exacerbating existing digital divides,opening new rif
146、ts,and entrenching disadvantage across the system38.Foundational to this is having access to enabling infrastructure such as internet connections and computing devices,which remains particularly challenging for marginalized and low-and middle-income communities and even countries39.The cost of acces
147、sing AI platforms and subscriptions can be prohibitive for many individuals,institutions,and whole jurisdictions,potentially creating a new form of digital inequity where access to advanced AI capabilities is determined by financial resources.For example,paid subscriptions to latest-model generative
148、 AI applications usually cost between USD20-30 per month,per platform;paid access typically grants more reliable access to frontier models,improved functionality such as data analysis,and enhanced output quality.It is important that institutions,governments,and AI vendors work together to supply AI
149、applications and tooling to ensure that essential AI functionalities are available free of charge to students,educators,and researchers40.This may involve institutional or governmental agreements with vendors,or the deployment and use of open-weights AI models.Considerations of equitable access also
150、 include potential barriers relating to disability,culture,and language.AI vendors have a responsibility to ensure AI interfaces are designed with accessibility in mind,and that students with disabilities receive the support and accommodations they need in using AI effectively41.It must also be reco
151、gnized that generative AI may be a powerful assistive technology for certain students,such as helping neurodivergent students to organize and reprocess material.Another aspect of equity is related to the predominantly Western perspectives in training datasets that may perpetuate biases and limit the

158、ce,and the ethical labor practices of AI companies in preparing models43.These factors should be considered when institutions are making decisions about generative AI applications and may lead to the selection of more ethical or sustainable options or giving individuals the agency to conscientiously

160、,access may be automatic,in which case institutions will need to invoke other elements of the CRAFT framework to appropriately respond,such as rules to ensure data protections are in place,and familiarity to ensure users are aware of the opportunities and limitations of generative AI.Looking to the

191、tiatives for faculty are still generally nascent or piecemeal,even though these are emerging as a necessary precondition for wider adoption49.Familiarity with generative AI in higher education also necessarily includes how it can be incorporated into teaching,learning,and assessment practices and de
192、signs in pedagogically meaningful ways50.For example,it may be more effective to provide students with intentionally designed generative AI applications that are aware of common misconceptions,promote problem solving,and develop metacognitive skills51 a,than to provide students with unguided,general
193、-purpose generative AI that may help answer questions but turn out to be a crutch52 that can allow students to avoid important cognitive labor and on which they can become over-reliant with potentially adverse long-term(and as-yet unknown)impacts.Overall,we need to take a“pedagogy first”approach to

245、for example,to save time),the trust relationship is further impacted through perceptions of hypocrisy,inaccuracy,and unfairness68.To start to address educator-student trust around AI,educators could model brave transparency around their own use of generative AI,and work with students to develop rule
246、s(in the form of local expectations through to institutional policies)and build familiarity together,as these opportunities for partnership are currently not being met69.An important contributing factor is educators and researchers lack of trust in generative AI itself.There are many valid reasons f
247、or this,including distrust in its accuracy and reliability,concerns around diminishing human value and creativity,lack of respect for data sovereignty,and feelings of intimidation around the unknown70.While some of this may be mitigated through building familiarity with and demystifying generative A
248、I,there are some concerns around morality,professional ethics,and human exceptionalism are more deeply rooted(see later section on culture).Trust between educators and AI might be fostered by increasing the level of control and visibility of AI use by students human control and agency are seen as ke
249、y elements in enhancing trust in AI systems71.However,while having students conversations with AI visible to their educators may help build educator trust,it may erode student trust and needs to be framed with student learning and care at the center.More generally in the population,there are prevail
250、ing concerns around data privacy and security,safety,and transparency72.Uptake of AI also differs significantly between institutions.Part of the reason relates to the risk maturity and appetites of different universities,which intersects with the trust relationship between educators/researchers and
251、leaders.Engagement with a new general-purpose technology like AI benefits from experimentation and invention73,and educators/researchers need an environment,built by leaders,within which to feel safe to pilot and fail.Supporting safe experimentation,collegial sharing,and open dialogue are key action
252、s that institutional leaders can undertake in establishing an environment of trust.This is underpinned by a strong vision around productive and 67 For example,Perkins et al.(2024)GenAI Detection Tools,Adversarial Techniques and Implications for Inclusivity in Higher Education.https:/doi.org/10.48550

258、are valid fears around the security and privacy of data provided to generative AI systems.Providing commercial data protection arrangements and mechanisms for users to opt out of data collection(or,better yet,have agency to opt in)are imperative to building this trust relationship,such as that affor
259、ded by Microsoft Copilots enterprise data protection arrangement.Recent developments such as AI nutrition labels74 and concerns over use of copyright material for AI training have helped to raise awareness amongst AI users and provide necessary visibility and interpretability around AI privacy issue
260、s.A 2023 analysis75 suggested that trust is central to AI adoption and there are four pathways to building trust in AI generally in the working population:(i)regulations and laws to make AI safe;(ii)realizing benefits of AI,(iii)addressing concerns about AI risks,and(iv)increasing understanding of,a
261、nd capability with,AI.Applied to the higher education context and within the CRAFT framework,these regulations correspond to rules,realizing benefits requires access and familiarity,while addressing concerns about risks and increasing understanding and capability correspond to familiarity.That is,tr
262、ust can be built by having rules that establish responsible use of AI,and by ensuring that students,educators,researchers,and leaders are able to understand and benefit from AI by using it in productive and ethical ways.Consider the following rubric(Table 5)to help situate your institutional and loc

273、Culture The final,and arguably the most complex,element of CRAFT lies in culture.This is multi-faceted and includes(i)regional,geographical,and societal responses to technology and automation,(ii)institutional or departmental cultures around innovation,collaboration,and risk,(iii)disciplinary reacti
274、ons to generative AI,and(iv)a more wholesale consideration around the role of the university.First,regionally and geographically across the Pacific Rim,there are differences in perceptions of risk and benefit of AI systems.For example,a recent report76 suggests that people in China and Singapore app
275、ear to be most optimistic about AI and perceive that the benefits outweigh the risks,whereas people in the US,Canada,and Australia,and to an extent Japan and South Korea,are less positive this tends to follow the level of AI use at work and perceptions of employer support for AI.The report authors a
276、lso suggest that those from emerging economies may have a stronger cultural acceptance of technology as it may be perceived as a route towards economic progress and advancement.There are also cultural differences in how teacher authority is perceived between Western and Eastern educational philosoph
277、ies.It remains an open question whether AI may be seen to erode a traditional teacher-student dynamic in Confucian education cultures,or whether education cultures that promote more critical and independent thought and questioning of authority might respond differently to the effects of generative A
278、I.For example,in Western education systems that typically prioritize student autonomy and creativity,would the use of generative AI tend more towards exploratory applications?Or,would Confucian systems prioritize the application of generative AI applications where the teacher maintains more control
279、over AI,perhaps with AI deliberately designed to take the role of a Confucian teacher?These are areas that are worth exploring further when considering cultural intersections with generative AI.Secondly,across different institutions and departments there are variable appetites for risk,experimentati
280、on,and collaboration.As already stated,collegial exploration is needed to discover productive and responsible ways to use generative AI in context.To support this culture of experimentation,the right rules,access,and(to an extent)foundational familiarity need to be established,providing staff and st
281、udents with an 76 Gillespie et al.(2023)Trust in Artificial Intelligence:Global Insights 2023.https:/ 77 Singapore Government National AI Strategy.https:/www.smartnation.gov.sg/nais/Case study The Singapore Government released77 its National AI Strategy 2.0 in 2023,bringing together citizens,busines
282、ses,researchers,and the government to enhance national capability and infrastructure around AI.Since the first national AI strategy in 2019,significant investment has seen a rapid expansion of AI applications and enablement activity including research and start-ups.The new strategy focuses on buildi
283、ng familiarity(seeing AI as a“must know”),forming global alliances and partnerships to contribute to AI development,and scaling out AI-enabled solutions across the economy.Association of Pacific Rim Universities Generative AI in higher education:Current practices and ways forward 33 environment for
284、safe exploration without fear of unfair reprisal78.Even though risk maturities vary widely between institutions,there are many common elements on which universities can and should collaborate.For example,the Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit is a shared framework for institutions
285、to gauge vendor risk,since potential risk concerns are mostly common between institutions79.EDUCAUSE and other groups have established lively online communities where leaders,educators,and researchers can share resources,events,and experiences80.Similarly,risks and opportunities around AI use in edu
286、cation(such as in assessment)are also common,so the sharing of approaches and policies across institutions will help the sector avoid repeating missteps81.For example,the Australian Governments Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency has collaborated with assessment and AI experts to provide
287、 sector-wide guidance around assessment reform82,and Australian university learning and teaching leaders have had regular national roundtables to share practices around generative AI83.Students are another obvious collaborative partner especially regarding AI and education.Students as partners initi
288、atives were already increasing in prevalence across the sector in recent years;this shift in culture and build-up of momentum needs to be leveraged so that students as seen as equal partners in responding to AI.A key risk is that a prevailing culture of institutional competition and exceptionalism i
289、s likely to lead to reinventing the wheel many times over,such as already visible through multiple institutions across the regions building their own custom AI platforms and AI-driven avatar tools.More collaboration and partnerships across and within the higher education sector,and with community an
290、d industry,will benefit all institutions and their communities.Different disciplinary and industry cultures will also react differently to the capabilities of generative AI.Early reflections suggest that while there are commonalities between disciplines(such as considerations of efficiency gains and
291、 technical limitations),there may be industry-by-industry nuances that impact how 78 McDonald et al.(2024)Apostles,Agnostics and Atheists:Engagement with Generative AI by Australian University Staff.https:/eprints.qut.edu.au/252079/79 EDUCAUSE(2024)Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolki

297、ciplines may be more concerned with accuracy and liability,compared with management and business that may raise more issues around automation and worker displacement.There may also be differences between functions within organizations(such as marketing vs sales vs human resources)85.Within academia,
298、the textual nature of many generative AI outputs may be perceived as more of an affront to humanities disciplines,which may be reflected in how much AI is currently used by different disciplines(e.g.more in engineering and information technology compared to society and culture86).As we work to produ
299、ctively and responsibly engage with generative AI in higher education,we need to be compassionately mindful of the fundamental knowledge,skills,and dispositions that different disciplines hold dear and find hardest to concede.As with other aspects of culture,further investigation is needed to consid
300、er intersections of academic disciplinary culture with perspectives and reactions to generative AI.Finally,the generative AI conversation in higher education has shifted somewhat over the past two years from panic around academic integrity to a deeper reconsideration of purpose of higher education87
301、.The prevailing culture around the role of universities has been a perception that our institutions are bastions of knowledge creation and dissemination.However,generative AI has further democratized the access to knowledge,explanations,and interpretations that the internet had already accelerated.A
302、lthough renewed by generative AI,this conversational shift ventures beyond AI and into the polycrisis88 the sector is facing.Deeply held beliefs and concerns around the value of human expertise and the impersonal nature of AI-assisted learning are also powerful cultural factors to address89.Fundamen
303、tally,there needs to be a forward-looking culture that allows consideration of a future for universities that may look uncomfortably different from today in terms of the role of AI,the value placed on university credentials by employers,and traditional models of curriculum and the credit-hour90 that
304、 dictate the pace of advancement through programs.A key question that is increasingly being asked is:what is the role of universities,especially research-intensive universities that form the membership of APRU,and how should that evolve?Does the cultural mainstay of knowledge still hold,or do univer
305、sities need to refocus and rebalance towards what students can do,or who students become?In other words,and to alliterate,should universities focus on stuff(content,knowledge),skills(transferable skills),or soul(values,dispositions,beliefs,characteristics)(Figure 2)?Do we have the right balance of t

325、c Rim Universities Generative AI in higher education:Current practices and ways forward 37 The importance of all five areas The CRAFT framework has been designed with three intersecting core elements(rules,access,familiarity)surrounded by trust and culture as supportive structures.The five component
326、s are interconnected and interacting,for example:Access and familiarity without rules this may lead to unsafe use of AI(such as inadvertently providing confidential information to AI vendors),or secret hidden use of AI,or challenges around the trustworthiness of higher education awards due to assess
327、ment practices where validity is not appropriately considered.These degrade trust(e.g.between people and AI,and between the community and universities)and set back development of a productive culture around AI.Access and rules without familiarity this may lead to rigid and basic use of AI without be
328、ing able to explore its potential,and people may use AI without understanding its ethical challenges leading to uncritical engagement with its outputs or poor pedagogical practices with AI.Similarly,these can degrade trust and may lead to a culture that is unable to look sufficiently forwards.Rules
329、and familiarity without access this may lead to a widening of the digital divide and exacerbation of inequity where only well-off students,educators,and researchers are able to access AI applications powered by frontier models.This has implications for academic integrity where some students will be
330、able to use AI to achieve better outcomes and prevents the development of a collective culture around AI.A lack of trust depending on which trust pairs are degraded,this can slow productive and responsible adoption of generative AI that then impacts culture.For example,over-focusing on academic inte
331、grity and taking a policing mindset erodes trust between students and educators and the institution.This can damage the development of a forward-looking culture that accepts and works with AI.Not having the right culture this can degrade collaboration and context-sensitive engagement with AI,as well
332、 as impacting the ability of institutions to plan ahead.Over time,this can erode trust between people,and trust of AI,as well as reduce motivation to develop or maintain familiarity.All five elements of the CRAFT framework are necessary to enable individuals and institutions to move ahead with gener
