The document discusses the history of human subjects research, including unethical experiments conducted by Nazi Germany scientists and the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service from 1932 to 1972. The Nazi experiments violated subjects' rights and caused extreme harm. The Tuskegee study intended to observe untreated syphilis in black men but became unscientific when subjects received some treatment and contributed no useful medical knowledge. It was later deemed unethical by modern standards for failing to obtain informed consent and exposing subjects to harm without benefit.

The document summarizes the history and key principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, which establishes ethical guidelines for medical research involving human subjects. It originated in 1964 and has undergone several revisions. The Declaration's goals are to protect research participants and ensure research is justified. Some key principles are that research must have scientific merit and potential benefits outweigh risks, participants must provide informed consent, and special protections apply to biomedical research combined with patient care.
DECLARATION OF HELSINKI
The Declaration of Helsinki is a set of ethical principles and guidelines for medical research involving human subjects. It was first adopted by the World Medical Association (WMA) in 1964 and has been revised multiple times, with the most recent version released in 2013. The Declaration provides a framework to protect the rights, safety, and well-being of individuals participating in research studies. Here are the key elements of the Declaration of Helsinki:
Respect for Autonomy and Informed Consent: The Declaration emphasizes the importance of respecting the autonomy of individuals and their right to make informed decisions about participating in research. It requires researchers to obtain informed consent from participants or their legally authorized representatives, ensuring they have been adequately informed about the study's purpose, procedures, potential risks and benefits, and their right to withdraw at any time.
Beneficence and Risk Assessment: Researchers have a responsibility to maximize potential benefits and minimize potential harm to research participants. The Declaration states that research protocols should be based on a thorough scientific assessment of risks and benefits and should prioritize the well-being of participants.
Ethical Review and Approval: The Declaration highlights the necessity of independent ethical review of research protocols by an appropriate research ethics committee or institutional review board (IRB). The committee should ensure that the study is scientifically valid, ethically sound, and compliant with relevant regulations and guidelines.
Privacy and Confidentiality: The Declaration emphasizes the importance of protecting the privacy and confidentiality of research participants. Researchers should ensure that participants' personal information is kept confidential, and data should be anonymized or pseudonymized whenever possible to protect participant identities.
Data and Safety Monitoring: The Declaration emphasizes the importance of ongoing data monitoring and safety assessments during the research study. Researchers should have plans in place to detect and manage any adverse events or unanticipated risks that may arise during the study.
Vulnerable Populations: Special protections are outlined for vulnerable populations, such as children, pregnant women, prisoners, and individuals with impaired decision-making capacity. Researchers should take extra precautions to ensure their well-being, and their involvement in research should be justified based on the potential benefits to their own population.
Publication and Dissemination of Results: The Declaration emphasizes the responsibility of researchers to publish and share the results of their research in a timely manner. The results should be accurately reported, and negative or inconclusive results should also be disseminated to prevent publication bias.
Randomisation techniques
Randomization is a key process in clinical trials that assigns participants to treatment groups in a way that limits bias. It aims to balance groups so they are similar in all ways except for the intervention received. Common randomization methods include coin tossing, random number tables, and computer generation of sequences. Block and stratified randomization can help produce balanced groups with comparable characteristics. Blinding of participants, investigators, and assessors is important to prevent biases from influencing outcomes. Inclusion and exclusion criteria define who can participate in a clinical trial based on factors like age, sex, disease characteristics, and medical history.

The Belmont Report (Three Benchmark Rules)
The Belmont Report, published in 1979, is a seminal document in the field of research ethics. It was developed by the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research in response to unethical research practices, particularly the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study. The report sets forth three fundamental ethical principles, often referred to as the "Three Benchmark Rules," that guide the ethical conduct of research involving human subjects. These principles are:
Respect for Persons:
The principle of respect for persons emphasizes the autonomy and dignity of individuals. It requires that individuals be treated as autonomous agents capable of making informed decisions about their participation in research. Researchers must obtain informed consent from potential subjects and provide them with all relevant information regarding the purpose, risks, benefits, and alternatives of the study. Special provisions must be made for individuals with diminished autonomy, such as children or those with cognitive impairments, to ensure their rights and welfare are protected.
Beneficence:
The principle of beneficence emphasizes the obligation to maximize benefits and minimize harm to research subjects. Researchers must ensure that the potential benefits of the study outweigh the potential risks. They should conduct a thorough risk-benefit analysis and design their studies to maximize potential benefits while minimizing any potential harm or discomfort to participants. Additionally, researchers must make ongoing assessments of the risks and benefits throughout the course of the study and take necessary steps to minimize harm and maximize benefits.
Justice:
The principle of justice requires the fair distribution of the burdens and benefits of research. It emphasizes the need for equal access to participation in research, regardless of factors such as race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics. Researchers must ensure that the selection of research subjects is fair and avoid exploiting vulnerable populations. Additionally, the benefits derived from research should be distributed equitably, ensuring that the burdens of research are not borne solely by disadvantaged groups while the benefits accrue to others.
These Three Benchmark Rules provided in the Belmont Report serve as the foundation for modern ethical guidelines and regulations governing research involving human subjects. They have significantly influenced the development of ethical review boards and informed consent processes, ensuring the protection of individuals' rights and well-being in research studies.

Me Intro
The document provides an overview of the origins and current state of the field of medical ethics. It discusses key developments like the Nuremberg Code in 1948 and the rise of hospital ethics committees. Current issues addressed include human genome projects, stem cell research, and managed care. Some basic concepts in medical ethics are also outlined, such as definitions of a person, autonomy, and quality of life.
The history of medical ethics in research and its relation to clinical practice
This document discusses the history of medical ethics in research and its relation to clinical practice. It covers several topics including the importance of research and ethics, premodern versus modern research, examples of unethical research, the development of ethics codes, and the application of research ethics to clinical medicine. Key points addressed are the benefits of research for improving health and helping patients and communities, as well as the need to prevent exploitation and protect subjects.
Nuremberg code presantation
The document discusses the Nuremberg Code, which was established after the Nuremberg Trials in response to unethical medical experiments conducted by Nazi doctors during World War II without participants' consent. The Code established ethical research principles including voluntary informed consent, beneficence, and that experiments should avoid unnecessary harm or injury. It also states that researchers must be qualified and participants can withdraw at any time if they feel unable to continue. The 10-point Nuremberg Code was the first international code of research ethics.
P3.2 Scientific Methods
Scientific methods involve asking questions, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments or tests, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. The document describes how engineers Czarnowski and Triantafyllou used these methods to test the hypothesis that a boat propulsion system mimicking a penguin's motion would be more efficient than a traditional propeller system. Their experiments on a model boat called Proteus supported their hypothesis by finding the penguin-inspired design was more efficient. They communicated their results through academic papers and online.
Tuskegee experiement power point
The Tuskegee Experiment was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service to observe the natural progression of untreated syphilis in African American males who thought they were receiving free health care from the Tuskegee Institute. Over 400 impoverished African American sharecroppers with syphilis were enrolled but never informed they had the disease or offered treatment even after penicillin became the standard treatment in 1947. By the end of the study, 28 men had died directly from syphilis, 100 more from related complications, and 40 wives and 19 children were infected. The study was terminated in 1972 after a public outcry.
Code of ethics in clinical trial
1. The Nuremberg Code established ethical guidelines for human experimentation after Nazi doctors were tried for war crimes for medical experiments without consent. It included requirements for voluntary and informed consent.
2. The Declaration of Helsinki expanded on informed consent and emphasized that subjects' welfare takes precedence over scientific interests.
3. The Belmont Report summarized ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice in research involving human subjects. It addressed informed consent, risk-benefit assessment, and fair subject selection.
Medical Ethics
This document discusses key values and concepts in medical ethics, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, informed consent, and justice. It provides historical context on the development of medical ethics as a field. It notes that while values like autonomy, beneficence and non-maleficence provide a framework, they do not always give clear answers when they conflict in a particular situation, creating ethical dilemmas.
Medical research and study design
This document discusses the history and importance of clinical research. It notes that while medical research has only recently emerged as a formal discipline, epidemiological practices date back centuries to figures like Hippocrates, James Lind, Edward Jenner, John Snow, Ignaz Semmelweis, and Joseph Goldberger. Their studies helped establish strong methodologies in the 1940s-1950s. The document outlines reasons for conducting research, including fulfilling degree requirements, advancing medical knowledge as the field continues expanding, and contributing to the art and science of medicine. It argues doctors should be trained in research to apply findings wisely, produce research that helps colleagues, and consume research accurately to treat patients. Finally, it describes seven key reasons related to
Medical ethics
Medical Ethics is what every physician and healthcare worker should know. We need to understand Ethics and its application in various cultures, societies and its changes according to norms and values. Once society will be given health education regarding Medical Ethics many issues can be resolved in a decent manner. It ultimately gives a very positive impression of all the actions which a healthcare worker performs otherwise at times seems inappropriate by society. This is not for the sake of healthcare worker or for the patients it is primarily for the whole community.
What are the rights of patient? role of ethical committee and parameters of a physician all need to be addressed properly.

THE NUREMBERG CODE DECLARATION OF HELSINKI THE BELMONT REPORT
The document summarizes the history of medical ethics guidelines from the 1940s onwards, including the Nuremberg Code, Declaration of Helsinki, and Belmont Report. It discusses how the Nuremberg Code established ethical principles for human experimentation after Nazi experiments. The Declaration of Helsinki and later guidelines built on these to provide further protections for research subjects. The Belmont Report established three core ethical principles - respect for persons, beneficence, and justice - and provided guidance on informed consent, risk/benefit assessments, and selection of subjects.
History of medical ethics
Medical ethics in China can be traced back to ancient times when an independent medical profession developed during the Zhou Dynasty. Ancient physicians emphasized experience over magic and paid attention to prognosis and whether a patient was treatable. During the Han Dynasty, Confucianism shaped Chinese culture and medicine, emphasizing benevolence or universal love and treating all patients equally regardless of status. These traditional values of caring for patients and virtue continue to influence medical ethics in China today alongside introduced Western theories and standards.
Ethics of Medical Researches
In medical research on human subjects, considerations related to the well-being of the human subject should take precedence over the interests of science and society.

The document outlines several international guidelines that now govern health research, including the CIOMS guidelines and ICH GCP, and emphasizes the global adoption of principles like respect for persons, beneficence, and justice.
The Pros And Cons Of Human Experimentation
The document discusses the ethics of human experimentation and provides examples of unethical human experiments from history. It argues that while some knowledge has been gained from human experimentation, much of the data is not ethical to use because it was obtained through cruel experimentation that caused immense suffering, such as the Nazi experiments on concentration camp prisoners and the Tuskegee syphilis study where patients were deliberately not treated. The document concludes that while medical advancements have been made, many human subjects were treated inhumanely and that the suffering of victims should not be ignored.
Research Ethics ARC Speakers Series v4.0
This document summarizes a presentation on research ethics given to the RRC Research Ethics Board in 2006. It discusses the history of unethical human research, key events that shaped modern ethics policies, and core concepts in research ethics like informed consent and risk/benefit assessment. The presentation covers milestones like the Nuremberg Code, Declaration of Helsinki, and Belmont Report that established ethical standards after atrocities like the Nazi experiments and Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

Unit Lesson
Crossing the Ethical Line in Epidemiology – The Tuskegee Experiment
Certainly one of the world’s leading professional organizations in community health is the American College of
Epidemiology (ACE). Founded in 1979, ACE is involved in formal education of epidemiologists, continuing
education conferences, setting of professional standards, and also establishing ethical guidelines for practice.
That last piece is where we will focus in the Unit VIII lecture. This is so important because the opportunity
exists for epidemiologists to step over the ethical line while trying to prove their point about a particular cause
of disease, a particular natural history of disease, or a particular form of treatment (ACE, 2014).
Conflict - Research and Ethics
Perhaps you have by now heard of the Tuskegee Experiment, an example of truly horrible research ethics
that will hopefully be remembered for a long time, and which will hopefully cause modern medical researchers
to think twice about how they treat the subjects in their studies. What really happened?

The United States Public Health Service designed and performed a study of syphilis beginning in 1932 and
ending in 1972. The study included 600 black men, and 399 of them were positive for late stage syphilis.
Participants in this study were promised free medical care, and were told that they were being treated for "bad
blood." These poor and uneducated subjects were evaluated to learn about the effects of syphilis on black
people. At the time, medical professionals held a theory that white people were affected neurologically by
syphilis, whereas, black people suffered only cardiovascular effects ...

Ethics in Clinical Research and Historical Perspective of Nazi Trials, Nuremb...
What is Ethics ?
The word ‘ethics’ is derived from the Greek word,
ethos, which means custom or character. Ethics is
the systematic study of values, so as to decide
what is right and what is wrong. Ethics is concerned
with what is good for individuals and society.
What is Clinical Research ?
Clinical Research is a branch of healthcare science that determines the safety and effectiveness of medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens intended for human use. These may be used for prevention, treatment, diagnosis or for relieving symptoms of a disease.
Importance of Ethics in Clinical Research :-
1. Ethics is important in clinical research because it keeps the researcher from committing errors while seeking knowledge and truth.
2. Ethical guidelines for clinical research were formulated only after discovery of inhumane behavior with participants during research experiments.
3. In clinical research human beings are involved, as opposed to animals, atoms or asteroids, as the object of study.
4. It focuses on improving human health and well-being, typically by identifying better methods to treat, cure or prevent illnesses.
5. The Ethics Committee stands as the bridge between the researcher and the ethical guidelines of the country
Tuskegee Experiment
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service to observe the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African American men in Alabama. Researchers recruited 600 impoverished sharecroppers with syphilis but did not treat them even after penicillin became the standard treatment. The study was unethical as it intentionally denied patients effective treatment and knowingly allowed syphilis to spread to their partners and children. The study was exposed in 1972 and led to reforms to protect human subjects in research.
Ethical principles for conducting research with human participants
This document discusses ethical principles for conducting research with human participants. It defines ethics, experiments on humans, and unethical human experimentation. It outlines controls and requirements for research, including obtaining consent from participants and oversight of the research process. Examples are given of some of the worst medical experiments in history, including those conducted by Nazi doctors and Unit 731 in Japan during World War II. The document stresses the importance of considering risks and benefits, protecting human dignity, and having proper scientific justification and oversight for any research with human subjects.
IRB Basics
The document discusses the history and ethical principles of human subjects research. It begins with the Nuremberg Code established after World War II to protect human subjects from abusive medical experiments. The three main ethical principles outlined in the Belmont Report are respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. The document then provides definitions of human subjects research and the levels of IRB review from exempt to expedited to full committee. It discusses considerations for vulnerable populations and risks of research. Informed consent is an ongoing process rather than a single event.

Climategate and scientific methodology
The document discusses the 2009 hacking of emails from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia which led to public questions about the reliability and honesty of climate scientists. It summarizes concerns raised about the scientists' expressed reluctance to share data and code as requested, as well as references to a "trick" used to "hide the decline". However, it also notes that nothing in the emails provides evidence of a conspiracy or data falsification. The document examines issues around scientific transparency, biases, and building public trust in science.
P160 Kuhn and his Critics
This document summarizes Thomas Kuhn's view of scientific progress and theory change, and responses to Kuhn from philosophers Lakatos, Laudan, and Feyerabend. Kuhn argued that science progresses through "paradigm shifts" rather than continuous progress, observations are theory-laden, and the choice between paradigms is not fully objective. Later philosophers criticized aspects of Kuhn's view and proposed alternative models of scientific progress and rational theory evaluation.
P160 Duhem and Quine
This document discusses the philosophical ideas of Duhem, Quine, and challenges in theory testing and scientific methodology. It addresses the concepts of underdetermination of theory by data, holism in testing, and meaning holism. It explains that scientific theories are tested as groups, not in isolation, and that changing one hypothesis can require changes throughout the theoretical framework. The document uses examples like Newton's laws of motion and predictions of planetary orbits to illustrate these concepts.
P160 Hempel, Hume, Deduction, and Induction
The document discusses Semmelweis' work in the 1840s to address childbed fever in Vienna hospitals. Semmelweis observed that the mortality rate from childbed fever was much higher in the first division ward staffed by doctors and medical students compared to the second division ward staffed by midwives. Through a process of elimination, Semmelweis hypothesized that cadaveric particles carried from autopsies to patients caused the disease. Reducing these particles by washing hands and instruments with chlorinated lime lowered the mortality rate, supporting his hypothesis. However, his conclusion could not be logically proven through the evidence, as other factors could also explain the outcome. The document also discusses the problem of induction in drawing conclusions about
Lect11 Human Subjects: Regulations
The document discusses the historical evolution of ethics guidelines for research involving human subjects. It begins with the Hippocratic Oath from ancient Greece which established early standards of medical ethics. It then discusses the Nuremberg Code created after World War II which focused on informed consent and avoiding harming subjects. Finally, it examines the Declaration of Helsinki which recognized the need for institutional review and emphasized informed consent, assessing risks/benefits, and protecting subject well-being.
Lec12 Human Subjects:Global Issues
This document discusses several ethical issues regarding human subjects research, particularly in developing countries. It summarizes the Belmont Report's principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. It then examines debates around the ethics of placebo-controlled trials in developing world contexts and whether local standards of care are acceptable for control groups. The tension between beneficence toward subjects and producing scientifically valid results that could benefit the population is also discussed.
Lec13 Scientific Papers and Communications
This document discusses scientific communication and the process of publishing scientific papers. It outlines the typical sections of a scientific paper, including the introduction, methods, results, and discussion. It also describes the role of peer review in evaluating papers before publication. While scientific papers aim to contribute to shared knowledge, they also serve as a way for scientists to establish priority and build their career records. This can complicate communication if it discourages sharing negative results or stretching the interpretation of findings. The document examines criticisms of the standard scientific paper format and considers other modes of scientific communication.
Lec 14 Authorship Issues
This document discusses authorship standards and issues in scientific publishing. It outlines why author order and attribution matter for communicating who did the research and granting proper credit. It describes problematic authorship situations like ghost writers and guest authors that can mislead readers. The document also summarizes International Committee of Medical Journal Editors standards for authorship and calls for more explicit identification of author contributions to increase accountability. It raises some concerns about peer review being misused to delay competitors' work.
Lec15 Patents and Intellectual Property
This document discusses several issues relating to patents and intellectual property:
- There is a tension between the norm of open scientific knowledge and the concept of intellectual property ownership.
- Employers and universities often claim ownership over intellectual property created by employees and students. Patent law varies by jurisdiction on this issue.
- Patents provide a limited monopoly on inventions in exchange for publicly disclosing details that allow others to replicate the work once the patent expires. However, critics argue the patent system does not always encourage innovation or serve the public interest.
Lec16 International Strategies for Scientific Dialogue
International strategies for scientific dialogue discusses various cultural influences on scientific communities and how scientists navigate these differences. Some key points summarized:
1. Local cultures and institutions can influence how science is practiced differently than an idealized meritocratic model. Hierarchies form within communities based on factors like field of study or country of origin.
2. Japanese scientists aim to participate globally while maintaining their national identity, but risk being seen as "strange" if habits from abroad are acknowledged.
3. The Tsukuba Science City project departed from traditional Japanese models by focusing on a less prestigious field outside standard university channels. This lowered their status nationally but raised it internationally in that field.
Explanation classroomversion
The document discusses different types of scientific explanations and criteria for a good explanation. It presents the deductive-nomological model of explanation but notes some limitations, as not all good explanations fit this model and some arguments that fit the model may not be good explanations. Different examples are provided to illustrate explanations based on laws of nature, statistical generalizations, mechanisms, and pragmatic or contextual factors.
P160 antirealismclassroomversion
The document discusses various positions regarding scientific realism and antirealism. It presents an example from the 19th century of a scientist, Jones, developing a theory that an unobservable microbe called a "crobe" is responsible for transmitting disease in the same way that lice transmit diseases. While the theory is empirically successful, some argue we cannot know if crobes truly exist. The document explores arguments for scientific realism, antirealism, and a middle position of "entity realism," discussing what types of claims we can and cannot make regarding observable versus unobservable entities based on empirical evidence and scientific theories.
P160 naturalismclassroomlect
The document discusses several topics relating to naturalism as a philosophical approach:
1) Naturalism shifts the question from how to justify scientific methodology to how to adequately describe how knowledge and science work based on what science tells us.
2) A naturalist view is that science can describe the belief-forming mechanisms that humans use and philosophy can evaluate how good those mechanisms are for achieving different goals.
3) Several philosophers discussed apply scientific findings and methods to philosophical problems, including describing how social and reward structures within science help explain its success.
Feminist Critiques of Science
The document discusses feminist critiques of science, specifically examining how the exclusion of women from science may have been harmful. It explores how scientific theories in the past have promoted gender biases and stereotypes to justify excluding women. A key feminist critique is that excluding diverse perspectives, like those of women, reduces objectivity by limiting alternative viewpoints and questions that could be asked. The document argues that including more women in science can help address implicit biases and assumptions, leading to more rigorous and objective scientific research.
Indirect-table Analysis
The document discusses indirect truth table analysis for determining the validity of arguments. It provides examples of setting up truth tables to evaluate arguments by making the conclusion false and premises true without contradictions. The examples show both valid and invalid arguments based on whether a consistent truth assignment can be found.
Truth table analysis
The document discusses how truth tables can be used to determine the logical status of propositions and arguments. Truth tables assign truth values (True/False) to propositions based on the truth values of their component statements, allowing the logical status of single propositions and groups of propositions to be determined. The logical status can be tautology, contradiction, contingent, equivalent, satisfiable/consistent, or unsatisfiable/inconsistent depending on the truth values. Validity of arguments can also be determined from truth tables by checking if the conclusion is true in all rows where the premises are true. Examples of truth tables are provided to illustrate these concepts.
Translating English to Propositional Logic
The document discusses translating statements from English to propositional logic, including:
- Conjunction and disjunction are commutative but order matters for statements with mixed operators
- How to translate conditional statements like "if P then Q" and biconditionals like "P if and only if Q"
- Necessary and sufficient conditions and how they relate to conditionals
- Examples of translating various English language statements into propositional logic statements
P160 Kuhn classroom Lecture 2
The document discusses Thomas Kuhn's concept of scientific revolutions and paradigm shifts. It explains that normal science operates within a shared paradigm, but anomalies can lead to a crisis when the paradigm is unable to solve resistant puzzles. This forces scientists to consider alternatives. When comparing paradigms like Ptolemaic vs Copernican models of planetary motion, factors like how well each addresses unsolved puzzles, fits with other theories and observations, and aesthetic appeal influence which paradigm gains acceptance. However, paradigm choices are subjective since what we observe depends on the paradigm.
Propositional logic
The document discusses translating natural language statements into propositional logic by identifying logical structures like negation, conjunction, disjunction, etc. It provides examples of translating statements involving negation (e.g. "Bill does not own a car"), conjunction (e.g. "Jenny went to the park and Bill went to the park"), disjunction (e.g. "Either my roommate will bring the textbook or my lab partner will let me borrow hers"), and discusses how to properly capture meaning and logical relationships. Key concepts covered are using variables to represent propositions, appropriate use of logical operators, and handling collective subjects, temporal sequences, and additive comparisons.
Kuhn: Paradigms and Normal Science
Thomas Kuhn argues that science operates in two distinct modes: normal science and scientific revolution. During normal science, scientists work within a shared paradigm that provides the framework and assumptions for their research. The paradigm guides what phenomena can be explained, what problems are worth studying, and how research is conducted. However, over time anomalies and resistant problems emerge that the paradigm cannot resolve, leading to a crisis and eventual shift to a new paradigm during a period of scientific revolution.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
