Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

9. Eric Idle (comedian and Actor)
Life doesn’t make any sense
and we all pretend it does.
Comedy’s job is to point out
that it doesn’t make sense,
and that it doesn’t make
much difference anyway.
Born 1943
11. Lenny Bruce (Comedian)
The only honest art form is laughter,
comedy. You can’t fake it…try to fake
three laughs in an hour-ha ha ha ha hathey’ll take you away, man. You can’t.
1925-1966
13. Stephen King (author)
A tragedy is a tragedy, and at the bottom, all
tragedies are stupid. Give me a choice and I’ll
take A Midsummer Night’s Dream over Hamlet
every time. Any fool with steady hands and a
working set of lungs can build up a house of
cards and then blow it down, but it takes a
genius to make people laugh.

14. Woody Allen (writer/director/actor
‘Comedy just pokes as
