One Practice/Ethics & AI

Ethical AI
in Academic Practice.

Helping educators, researchers, and institutions engage AI responsibly, keeping critical judgment and scholarly integrity at the center.

David working on ethics and AI in academic practice

AI is no longer a future challenge for higher education; it is reshaping how students write, how researchers synthesize, and how institutions define academic integrity in real time. The pressure to respond has led many institutions to reach first for detection tools and prohibition policies. These rarely hold, and they rarely teach.

In Practice

What this work looks like

Redesigning course structures and assignments to center process, voice, and reflection rather than outputs that AI can easily replicate.

Developing guidelines that address attribution, intellectual ownership, equitable access to tools, and the ethical responsibilities of educators and learners.

Training PhD candidates, faculty, and research staff on using AI tools for literature mapping, structural editing, and data organization without displacing scholarly judgment.

Equipping students and educators to interrogate AI: algorithmic bias, the limits of large language models, and how AI reproduces or challenges knowledge authority.

AI in academic life is too often treated as a compliance problem, when it might be a pedagogical opportunity.
