GAInEd: Generative Artificial Intelligence in Education

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) assistants is astonishing and driving significant changes across multiple domains, with education being one of the most impacted. These tools offer new opportunities for improving education and increasing student engagement. However, the widespread adoption of such technologies also raises concerns, for example, about pedagogical effectiveness and ethics.

In my career, I want to ensure that GenAI is used responsibly in education to limit the risks it may pose to students, teachers, and institutions. This ambition motivates my research goals: to develop a new pedagogical framework tailored to assess the use of GenAI in higher education, with the overarching goal of understanding how it can shape the future of education. I will apply this framework to implement human-centered GenAI models for established courses across the two partner universities, the Technical University of Denmark and Imperial College London.
