In a recent article for Times Higher Ed, Jakub Drábik (Anglo-American University) discusses how generative AI is reshaping the meaning of academic excellence. Drábik writes that native fluency in English, elite educational pedagogy, and early immersion in academic norms give some scholars an advantage. However, now that generative AI tools can be used by scholars to help translate, reword, and refine their studies, “it could fundamentally reshape what academic excellence looks like, how it’s achieved, and who gets to perform at the top level.” Drábik concludes by describing the limits of this solution, including that some institutions remain hesitant about the use of AI and that AI tool use requires technical proficiency.
