Expert Voices
Overly permissive use of artificial intelligence in higher education risks rewarding polished outputs over deep understanding and placing too much of a burden on students. Instead, universities must lead with pedagogical design that aligns learning, assessment and meaningful use of AI tools.
For Àngels Fitó, placing people back at the centre of universities' transformation agendas is not a rhetorical choice, but a strategic one, as diversity-aware leadership fosters decisions anchored in inclusion, responsibility and long-term institutional sustainability.
