In this episode of SHIFTERLABS: The Future of Education, we explore the paper “Generative AI in Higher Education: A Global Perspective of Institutional Adoption Policies and Guidelines”, authored by Yueqiao Jin, Lixiang Yan, Vanessa Echeverria, Dragan Gašević, and Roberto Martinez-Maldonado from Monash University and Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (Ecuador).   This study, published in Computers & Education: Artificial Intelligence, investigates how 40 universities across six global regions are adapting to the rise of Generative AI (GAI) in education.
