Abstract

Artificial Intelligence is profoundly reshaping teaching, learning, and assessment practices in higher education, calling for critical reflection on the possible paths toward truly innovative education. It is now essential to understand not only the technical potential of AI, but also the ethical, pedagogical, and social implications of its integration.

This session will explore how these technologies can act as pedagogical partners, supporting creative, collaborative, and reflective processes, while fostering the development of critical digital citizenship, able to respond to the emerging challenges of contemporary society.
