Higher education institutions are facing increasing pressure to integrate AI technology into classrooms and consider its impact on the workforce. Prioritising individuals over technology is essential for effectively utilising AI to promote equitable student success. AI, which originates from the 1950s, now significantly shapes education, impacting teaching, technology, and cybersecurity. Navigating these complexities is challenging but essential, with a focus on aligning priorities with students’ academic needs.
