Overview
- Based on a survey of 30 higher education institutions, the report provides a current snapshot of AI use across academic, administrative and governance functions.
- More than half of institutions use generative AI to develop learning materials (53%), with deployments also spanning tutoring chatbots (40%), adaptive platforms (39%) and automated grading (38%).
- A majority have formalized oversight, as 56% report AI-related policies, though readiness across key enablers remains uneven.
- The report warns that tools drawing on student submissions, engagement data or biometrics create privacy and compliance risks best handled through centralized governance and clear vendor contracts.
- Recommendations include embedding foundational AI literacy across programmes, upgrading digital infrastructure, and strengthening faculty capacity and institutional governance.
