As Generative Artificial Intelligen ce continues to reshape academic practice in highe r education\, we invite you to the third instalmen t of the AI and Academic Practice series. This rou ndtable brings together diverse voices to explore how AI is being woven into the fabric of different disciplines and the interdisciplinary spaces betw een them. Since the introduction of ChatGPT in lat e 2022\, the attitudes of both staff and students have undergone a massive shift. Our speakers will critically examine how these changing perceptions are being managed across different subject areas a nd the subsequent impact on day-to-day academic li fe.
\ n \nAssessment remains the most pressing challenge for academics and edu cational developers. This session moves beyond "ac ademic integrity" to explore proactive assessment design frameworks and pedagogical practices. We fe ature practitioner reflections on how we can meani ngfully measure learning in an automated age.
\n \nFinally\, the integration of AI has reignited fundamental questions about th e nature of knowledge. Speakers will offer critica l perspectives on the challenges AI brings to the traditional philosophies of education and higher e ducation needs to consider in an increasing AI int egrated society.
