This timely book examines the myriad ways that AI is shaping higher education. Stefan Popenici analyses the current dynamics and ideologies driving AI development, as well as the intentions behind its usage and its resulting implications for pedagogical equity. The author argues that higher education is becoming increasingly distanced from its core aims and values, presenting significant risks to our capacity to solve current and future global crises.

The book explores the effects of AI colonisation, addressing key ideological and epistemological tensions including algorithmic bias, the potential for misinformation, AI-based plagiarism and the loss of original thinking. The author draws on various case studies to demonstrate the harmful impact of AI technologies on trust, which results in a loss of agency for institutions, teachers and students. Employing critical analysis and evidence-based insights, Popenici demonstrates that a human-centered approach to higher education is essential for its long-term sustainability.

Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence is a valuable resource for scholars and students of educational technology and educational psychology, as well as scholars investigating AI governance and privacy digital rights. Highlighting crucial implications for curriculums, assessments and general academic integrity, this book is also beneficial for university leaders and governance bodies looking to develop effective policies and AI guardrails.
