In a recent article for Times Higher Ed, Tom Smith (Royal Air Force College) argues that universities must take control of their use of AI rather than focusing exclusively on student policies. AI is becoming the university’s operating system, writes Smith, and institutions must create live maps of their AI infrastructure and create clear lines of accountability for AI systems that affect student progression, classification, or welfare. Smith writes that AI must be deliberately designed to avoid “quiet deprofessionalisation.” “The challenge now is making sure someone is actually in charge of the engine room – and that the people whose lives are affected by it know where the controls are,” writes Smith.
