First online meetup: What’s troubling you?
Next 15th May we will be having the first online meetup with community members. The plan is simple: we will be asking attendees to address two questions:
Apr 27, 2026
AI is profoundly transforming many facets of our lives, including the way we learn, teach or research. Universities face the challenge of deciding how to fit AI, especially considering that the way this technology is designed collides with many of the core principles upon which Academia and scientific knowledge are built upon.
This community of practice aims to critically enquiry how AI is adopted and influence decision-making processes to ensure that academic principles are not traded over promises of progress, speed or efficiency.
Who is this for?
This is welcoming members from any background that are concerned by AI generally, and how is it used in HE, specifically.
If any of these questions resonate with you, you’re likely to belong here!
- Are you a member of a University, Research centre or HE?
- Are you concerned with the way AI is being implemented in HE?
- Do you feel isolated when you flag your concerns about how AI can impact our work (e.g. how we research and teach), how students learn, or the future of universities?
- Do you want your voice made heard?
- Do you want to work together with others to influence decision-making processes in HE in relation to AI usage?
What can I expect from this community?
For now, the offering is quite humble: meeting like-minded people willing to do something collectively.
If you find this very vague is because we are now in a definition stage, which means that you have a saying in shaping how you want this community to be!
How can I engage?
Start by joining the conversation in these channels: - Github Discussions, - [Matrix] Space.
There you can help us shaping the community by introducing yourselves, proposing ideas (or giving feedback to existing ones) or simply discussing and sharing your thoughts.
