An international voice and resource for higher education

We are a collective of educators and resources from around the world with an interest in sharing thoughts and experiences on the adoption of AI in higher education. Reflecting our four core principles, we aim to create a space where we can come together for thought exchange and where we can share high quality curated resources. 

We have taken the name AI Thought Exchange (AITE). Coming from different institutions, disciplines, career stages, roles, and geographical locations, we take a deliberative, slow approach to examining the opportunities and impact of AI on higher education. Our emphasis is on exchange and we recognise that we do not have the solutions or answers to man of these questions. Our shared resources may not always be the best or most relevant, but we have found them to be of use.

Core Principles

1. Education First

We are open to all who work in higher education and care about how the sector is being shaped by AI. We aim to promote education through technology, and at the heart of AITE are questions such as what is the purpose and future of higher education?

2. Interdisciplinary

We are open to all who have professional interest in higher education and AI. We actively seek to ensure that we have a balanced membership representing different disciplines, genders, career stage, institutions, and geographical regions.

3. Independent

AITE is non-affiliated and independent. We do not have a political or ideological agenda. Members participate in their personal capacity and do not represent their institutions.

4. International

AITE aims to have members from all over the world. We encourage cross-cultural perspectives and collaboration. However, we do not aim to replicate international organisations. Membership is based on interest and relevance rather than nationality. Our working language is English.

Membership

AITE welcomes professional members from all over the world and all parts of higher education. We encourage cross-cultural perspectives and collaboration. However, we do not aim to replicate international organisations. Membership is based on interest and relevance rather than nationality. Our working language is English.

We are members of AITE in our personal capacity. Although we are not open for student membership, we strive to ensure that we include student perspectives in our work and discussions.
