Practicing Intention in the Age of AI

Practicing Intention in the Age of AI

Thursday, March 26, 2026 | 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

In classrooms where generative AI and digital platforms are becoming part of everyday practice, how do educators and students act with intention rather than simply react to new tools? This Viewpoints panel discussion brought together emergent scholars working at the intersection of AI, pedagogy and critical practice, inviting a grounded conversation about what critical and caring use of AI can look like in real educational settings.

Panelists drew from their research on critical digital literacy practices in AI‑mediated learning, learner agency and assessment in higher education, and the use of AI and digital technologies in secondary humanities classrooms. Through examples from teaching, collaborative inquiry with educators and policy‑oriented research, they surfaced tensions and possibilities around generative AI, measurement and classroom practice, and asked how we can design learning environments that foreground agency, motivation and justice.

Panel: Kyu Yun Lim, Nesrine El Banna & Irina Tursunkulova
