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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

5. Dynastic China
A period in Chinese History (2100 BCE- 1900
CE) in which powerful families ruled over China.
Dynasties often lasted for centuries.
Wars and Unrest generally brought the end of
old dynasties and the beginnings of new
Dynasties.
Different Dynasties promoted different values.
6. Mandate of Heaven
An ancient Chinese philosophy which believed that
heaven gave emperors the power to rule. When they lost
the mandate, they would lose their power.
Four Principles…
1) Heaven grants the emperor the right to rule,
2) Since there is only one Heaven, there can only be one
emperor at any given time,
3) The emperor's virtue determines his right to rule, and,
4) No one dynasty has a permanent right to rule.
7. Ming Dynasty
1368-1644 CE

Production
Emphasized Confucianism
Merit-Based Civil Services Exam

Goal was to limit outside influences.
Finished the Great Wall to protect themselves from
threats from the north.
Government tried to limit trade with Europe
Trade limited to three several ports along the eastern sea
board.
International demand for Chinese goods rose and
changed the economy.

Confucian beliefs.

Manchurian (Seen as outsiders from the North)
Continued to Resist European and outside influence by

to the Emperor and followed Chinese customs.
British were denied access into the market.
10. Challenge to China’s Isolation
In 1793, the Qing Emperor sent a letter to the King of England:
“There is nothing we lack…We have never placed much value on strange
or ingenious objects, nor do we need any more of your country’s
manufactures.”
Believed that the Chinese economy was self-sufficient.
11. England’s Introduction of
Opium to China
Desperate to find a product that China would find
appealing, the British introduced Opium.
Habit inducing narcotic.
By 1835, millions of Chinese were addicted.
“By what right do they [British Merchants]…use the
poisonous drug to injure the Chinese people? I have head
that the smoking of opium is illegal in England…Since it is
not permitted to do harm to your own country, then even
less should you let it be passed on to the harm of other
countries.”
12. The Opium Wars
A war which broke out between China and England
following England’s refusal to stop shipping opium to
China.
End Result: China lost the naval war and was forced to
surrender the island of Hong Kong to England and
remove many of their trade restrictions.
13. Spheres of Influence
After their defeat to the British, and added to by internal
economic & political struggles, China became divided by
World powers.
14. Open Door Policy
Fearful that they would loose out on China as a trading
partner, the United States proposed the Open Door
Policy in 1899.
Called for open trade between China and the Western
World.
15. The Boxer Rebellion
A 1900 revolt by the Chinese peasants aimed at ridding
China of foreign influence.
“Death to the Foreign Devils!”
The rebellion failed but it led to a strong sense of
nationalism in China and showed that the people wanted
a more representative government.
16. The Fall of Dynastic China
By 1911, Nationalistic forces had gained support around
China and led to the successful rebellion against the Qing
Dynasty.
The goal of the Nationalists was to develop a democratic
system within China.
17. The Warlord Period
1911-1927
The Nationalist Party struggled to gain control around the
country and local warlords rose to power instead. This
divided China politically and economically.
18. The May Fourth Movement
May, 1919: A series of protests by Chinese students,
intellectuals, and professionals following the news that the
Treaty of Versailles had granted areas of China that had
been controlled by Germany to Japan.
This led many young people to begin looking for
alternative political systems to guide their country,
including a rise in popularity of Communism.
