AI Luminaries: A Knowledge Equity Approach to Generative AI in Education
Generative AI is reshaping the relationships between students, teachers, institutions, and digital providers, raising urgent questions about autonomy, pedagogy, the future of education and knowledge sustainability. In response to this shift, Professor Martínez-Arboleda will propose a set of principles for Generative AI adoption in education, using as a context Lingua Connect, a Collaborative Online Inter-institutional Learning course, supported by AI, linking language students and educators from Mexico, Brazil and the UK. Against this backdrop, the following questions will be explored: How can Generative AI be appropriated by educators for pedagogical purposes? How can Generative AI in education be greener, more reliable, open, and more ethical? How can institutions support this shift?
