Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI), Report 199, 2026
Summary
This HEPI report presents findings from a large-scale survey of UK higher education students on their use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), building on earlier surveys from 2024 and 2025. It shows that GenAI use is now widespread and normalised across the student population, with most students using AI tools regularly for tasks such as explaining concepts, summarising readings, generating ideas, and supporting writing. The report highlights a shift from experimental use to embedded study practice, with students increasingly viewing GenAI as a standard academic tool rather than an optional extra.
However, the findings also reveal a complex landscape of uneven skills, uncertainty, and institutional inconsistency. While many students report benefits in efficiency and understanding, concerns persist around overreliance, accuracy, and fairness. The report notes that guidance from institutions remains variable, with students often unclear about acceptable use in assessments. Importantly, the data suggests a growing expectation that universities should actively teach students how to use GenAI effectively and ethically, rather than simply regulate or restrict it. The report underscores the need for clearer policies, improved AI literacy, and assessment redesign that reflects real-world practices.
Key Points
The majority of students now use GenAI regularly in their studies.
Common uses include explaining concepts, summarising, and drafting work.
GenAI is becoming embedded as a standard academic tool.
Students report gains in efficiency, productivity, and understanding.
Concerns remain about accuracy, bias, and overreliance.
Institutional guidance on GenAI use is inconsistent or unclear.
Many students are uncertain about acceptable use in assessments.
There is strong demand for formal AI literacy education.
Assessment practices are not yet aligned with widespread AI use.
Equity issues arise from unequal access to tools and skills.
Conclusion
The HEPI Student Generative AI Survey 2026 highlights a decisive shift: generative AI is no longer emerging but embedded in student learning. The challenge for higher education is to move from reactive policy-making to proactive educational design—equipping students with the skills, clarity, and critical awareness needed to use AI responsibly and effectively in both academic and professional contexts.

Should we learn with AI?
The Manifesto for Generative AI in Higher Education by Hazel Farrell and Ken McCarthy (2025) is a text composed of 30 propositional statements. It is provocative in the sense that the reader is challenged, on some level, to either agree or disagree with each statement and will likely experience a mix of emotional responses, according to how each statement either affirms or affronts their current beliefs about AI. Here, I respond to one of the statements with which I disagree.
Most of the statements take the form: x is y, or x does y. Only two are explicitly directive, involving normative or prescriptive statements, i.e. should/must. One of these statements is:
“Students must learn with GenAI before they can question it.”
This particular statement is as far as the text goes as a whole towards saying what should be done about AI in a prescriptive sense, i.e. in this case, that it should be used. The implication is that students cannot have a valid opinion on AI without first using it (or, as it is framed here, “learning with it”). This could be seen, however, to preclude certain forms of learning. Reading about something, or hearing an argument about it, may arguably be as valid a form of educational experience as picking up a thing and using it. Moreover, if we use something, it does not always follow that we then understand it, or what we were doing with it (nor indeed what it might have been doing to us). In discussions about AI, an experiential element is sometimes offered as both an uncomplicated requisite and a simultaneous cause of learning.
Another critique of this framing is that people could potentially be forced to use harmful tools. For example, I have heard that Grok is a harmful tool and that it has been used to create deep fakes, explicit and pornographic, non-consensual pictures of women and children. I have never tried it myself. Do I need to create a Grok account and make pedophilic images before I have an opinion on whether this tool is useful or not, before I can question it?
This may seem an extreme example of AI harms, but it is worth considering that when we talk about GenAI, we are not usually talking about educational technologies carefully designed for students. Rather, we mostly mean general-purpose consumer products, whose long-term effects upon learning, knowledge production and education are as yet unknown. This, at least, is the opinion of a group of students from California State University – an institution which has conducted one of the highest-profile rollouts of GenAI (ChatGPT) in higher education. The students petitioned the university to “cancel its contract with OpenAI and to use the savings to protect jobs at CSU campuses facing layoffs”. Their stance aligns with warnings from some researchers that exposure to smoking, asbestos and social media were actively encouraged, before we realised their harms. See, Guest et al (2025), whose paper Against the uncritical adoption of AI in Education gives examples of this type of framing of AI.
From Consentless Technologies to AI-Nothing
At the moment, we are staring in sadness, horror and denial at the USA’s descent into autocracy and the deeply racist and harmful ideas and actions of its government. For example, in a recent address at Davos, US President Donald Trump mocked the country of Somalia and talked about the “low-IQ” of Somali people. This was not widely reported, which begs the question as to whether such statements are now deemed so normal and un-newsworthy that we have accepted one of the most powerful people in the world, as one of the most racist. This person is the leader of the country from which we currently import all our GenAI technology for education. The USA is AI’s primary regulator (Rice, Quintana, & Alexandrou, 2025) and ideological driver. Its dominant cultural values will be increasingly embedded in it.
If AI is an artefact thatcan “have politics” (Winner, 1980), it is reasonable to tak care in how we approach such technologies and the language about how we use them. AI could be leading us towards forms of Authoritarian EdTech (Costello & Gow, 2025) composed of ensembles of “consentless technologies” characterised by surveillance, displays of power and a lack of any real concern for learners beyond how their actions enrich corporations.
Consentless technologies are those we become habituated to, in our educational spaces and workplaces, that sprout new features overnight, which not-so-subtly demand that we use them: “Would you like me to write this for you ✨?”
Last year, for example, a “Homework help” feature was introduced to Google’s Chrome browser. It only activated itself when it detected that users were accessing a VLE/LMS. If they were, it prompted them to use AI to interact with the content of the course. Typical activities it could perform were summarising course content or looking up related information, but also completing course quizzes.
It is safe to say that no one has asked for the amount of pop-ups and prompts that are persistently urging us to use AI in social media, web browsers, email, and word processors. It is reasonable to pause and ask ourselves what this relentless promotion is telling us about the nature of the tools, and what they are really designed to do.
Should we learn with AI?
What then should we teach our students, and what should they learn these lessons with? Given that we are being compelled to try AI every five minutes, then learning with it does not seem like much of a rare commodity, not much of a “marketable skill”. To differentiate oneself as a graduate in a “skills marketplace”, would it not be more advantageous to have types of aptitudes, skills and competencies derived from interactions with things that are not being so aggressively pushed upon us?
What would this look like? I cannot say exactly, or at least will not give you the type of answer that can be easily fed into a machine as just another Pavlovian prompt-response set. All I can advise is that, if everyone is doing something, and you blithely copy them, well then, you are giving it your very best shot at mediocrity.
AI Nothing
Lucy Suchman (2023) has decried the uncontroversial “Thingness” of AI. And in the course of my work, I sometimes feel under pressure to think about some thing or do some thing (“what must I do or think about AI?”). But my more abiding and enduring concern is in trying to meet others, through my teaching and my writing and my research, in places of no-thing, in great spaces out beyond the end of everything. (Hopefully, I will see you there someday.)
What do I mean by this? I mean can we really learn “with AI”? Can it be there for us? Is it there? And if it is, is it all there? And if it is all there is it all there is?
It is hard not to escape the feeling that AI-everywhere and AI-anything is AI-nothing.
To be clear, I am not saying that we must not learn with AI.
Nor that we must learn with AI;
Neither with nor without AI;
Nor with and without AI.
These four propositions exhaust the possible options that could be used to clarify what I am saying we must do about AI in education (Nagarjuna, 1995).
You can decide, dear reader, whether it is helpful or unhelpful, that I am deeply committed to none of them.

Moving from reaction to intentional practice: Exploring the collaborative future of Generative AI in higher education through human-led dialogue and pedagogical reflection. Image (and typos) generated by Nano Banana.
Generative AI has become part of higher education with remarkable speed.
In a short period of time, it has entered classrooms, assessment design, academic writing, feedback processes, and professional workflows. For many educators, its arrival felt sudden and difficult to make sense of, leaving little space to pause and consider what this shift means for learning, teaching, and academic practice.
Initial responses across the sector have often focused on risk, regulation, and control. These concerns are understandable. Yet they only tell part of the story. Alongside uncertainty and anxiety, there is also curiosity, experimentation, and a growing recognition that GenAI raises questions that are fundamentally pedagogical rather than purely technical.
On 21 January, we are delighted to host #LTHEchat to explore these questions together and to move the conversation from reaction towards more intentional, reflective practice.
The discussion will be grounded in the Manifesto for Generative AI in Higher Education, and informed by the wider work of GenAI:N3, a national initiative in Ireland supporting collaborative engagement with generative AI across higher education.
GenAI:N3: A Collaborative Project for the Sector
GenAI:N3 is a national network that was established in Ireland as part of the N-TUTORR programme, to support technological higher education institutions as they responded to the rapid emergence of generative AI. Rather than focusing on tools or technical solutions, the project centres on people, practice, and shared learning.
At its core, GenAI:N3 aims to build institutional and sectoral capacity by creating spaces where educators, professional staff, and leaders can explore GenAI together. Its work is grounded in collaboration across institutions and disciplines, recognising that no single university or role has all the answers.
The project focuses on several interconnected areas:
Supporting communities of practice where staff can share experiences, challenges, and emerging approaches
Encouraging critical and reflective engagement with GenAI in teaching, learning, assessment, and professional practice
Exploring the ethical, social, and institutional implications of GenAI, including questions of power, inclusion, sustainability, and academic judgement
Developing shared resources, events, and conversations that help the sector learn collectively rather than in isolation
GenAI:N3 is not about accelerating adoption for its own sake. It is about helping institutions and individuals make informed, values-led decisions that are aligned with the purposes of higher education.
The Manifesto as a Shared Thinking Space
The Manifesto for Generative AI in Higher Education emerged from this collaborative context. It did not begin as a formal deliverable or a policy exercise. Instead, it took shape gradually through workshops, conversations, reflections, and recurring questions raised by staff and students across the sector.
What became clear was a need for a shared language. Not a framework that closed down debate, but a set of statements that could hold complexity, uncertainty, and difference.
The Manifesto brings together 30 short statements organised across three themes:
Rethinking teaching and learning
Responsibility, ethics, and power
Imagination, humanity, and the future
It is intentionally concise and deliberately open. It does not offer instructions or compliance rules. Instead, it invites educators and institutions to pause, reflect, and ask what kind of learning we are designing for in a world where generative tools are readily available.
One of its central ideas is that GenAI does not replace thinking. Rather, it reveals the cost of not thinking. In doing so, it challenges us to look beyond surface solutions and to engage more deeply with questions of purpose, judgement, and educational values.
Why These Conversations Matter Now
Much of the early discourse around GenAI has centred on assessment integrity and detection. While these issues matter, they risk narrowing the conversation too quickly.
GenAI does not operate uniformly across disciplines, contexts, or learning designs. What is productive in one setting may be inappropriate in another. Students experience this inconsistency acutely, particularly when institutional policies feel disconnected from everyday teaching practice.
The work of GenAI:N3, and the thinking captured in the Manifesto, keeps this complexity in view. It foregrounds ideas such as transparency as a foundation for trust, academic judgement as something that can be supported but not automated, and ethical leadership as an institutional responsibility rather than an individual burden.
These ideas play out in very practical ways, in curriculum design, in assessment briefs, in conversations with students, and in decisions about which tools are used and why.
Why #LTHEchat?
#LTHEchat has long been a space for thoughtful, practice-led discussion across higher education. That makes it an ideal forum to explore generative AI not simply as a technology, but as a catalyst for deeper pedagogical and institutional reflection.
This chat is not about promoting a single position or reaching neat conclusions. Instead, it is an opportunity to surface experiences, tensions, and emerging practices from across the sector.
The questions we will pose are designed to open up dialogue around issues such as abundance, transparency, disciplinary difference, and what it means to keep learning human in a GenAI-rich environment.
An Invitation to Join the Conversation
Whether you are actively experimenting with generative AI, approaching it with caution, or still forming your views, your perspective is welcome.
Bring examples from your own context. Bring uncertainties and unfinished thinking. The Manifesto itself is open to use, adapt, and challenge, and GenAI:N3 continues to evolve through the contributions of those engaging with its work.
As the Manifesto suggests, the future classroom is a conversation. On 21 January, we hope you will join that conversation with us through #LTHEchat.

Summary
This policy framework provides a national, values-based approach to guiding the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in teaching and learning across Irish higher education institutions. Rather than prescribing uniform rules, it establishes a shared set of principles to support informed, ethical, and pedagogically sound decision-making. The framework recognises GenAI as a structural change to higher education—particularly to learning design, assessment, and academic integrity—requiring coordinated institutional and sector-level responses rather than ad hoc or individual initiatives.
Focused explicitly on teaching and learning, the framework foregrounds five core principles: academic integrity and transparency; equity and inclusion; critical engagement, human oversight, and AI literacy; privacy and data governance; and sustainable pedagogy. It emphasises that GenAI should neither be uncritically embraced nor categorically prohibited. Instead, institutions are encouraged to adopt proportionate, evidence-informed approaches that preserve human judgement, ensure fairness, protect student data, and align AI use with the public mission of higher education. The document also outlines how these principles can be operationalised through governance, assessment redesign, staff development, and continuous sector learning.
Key Points
The framework offers a shared national reference point rather than prescriptive rules.
GenAI is treated as a systemic pedagogical challenge, not a temporary disruption.
Academic integrity depends on transparency, accountability, and visible authorship.
Equity and inclusion must be designed into AI adoption from the outset.
Human oversight and critical engagement remain central to learning and assessment.
AI literacy is positioned as a core capability for staff and students.
Privacy, data protection, and institutional data sovereignty are essential.
Assessment practices must evolve beyond reliance on traditional written outputs.
Sustainability includes both environmental impact and long-term educational quality.
Ongoing monitoring and sector-wide learning are critical to responsible adoption.
Conclusion
The HEA Policy Framework positions generative AI as neither a threat to be resisted nor a solution to be uncritically adopted. By grounding AI integration in shared academic values, ethical governance, and pedagogical purpose, it provides Irish higher education with a coherent foundation for navigating AI-enabled change while safeguarding trust, equity, and educational integrity.

Moving from debate to action: Implementing a cross-departmental strategy to shape the future of GenAI in higher education. Image (and typos) generated by Nano Banana.
Debate continues to swing between those pushing rapid adoption and those advocating caution of GenAI, for example, panic about “AI taking over the classroom” and outrage at Big Tech’s labour practices. Both are important, but are these and other concerns causing inaction? In many cases, we are quietly watching students hand their data and their critical thinking over to the very Big Tech companies we are arguing against (while we still fly on holidays, stream on smart TVs and buy the same devices from the same companies). Pretending that GenAI in education is the one place we finally draw an ethical line, while doing nothing to make its use safer or more equitable, is not helpful. By all means, keep debating, but not at the cost of another three or four cohorts.
This opinion post suggests three things universities should address now: a minimal set of GenAI functions that should be available to staff and students, and a four-step teaching process to help lecturers rethink their role with GenAI.
Three things universities need to address now
1. Tell students and staff clearly what they can use (Déjà vu?)
Students and staff deserve clarity on which GenAI tools they have access to, what they can use them for and which ones are institutionally supported. Has your university provided this? No more grey areas or “ask your lecturer”. If people do not know this, it pushes GenAI use into secrecy. That secrecy hands more power to Big Tech to extract data and embed bias, while also quietly taking away their cognitive ability.
2. Untangle GenAI from “academic integrity”
Tightly linking GenAI to academic integrity was a mistake! It has created an endless debate about whether to permit or prohibit GenAI, which pushes use further underground. At this point, there is no real equity and no real academic integrity. Use of GenAI cannot simply be stopped, proved or disproved, so pretending otherwise, while holding endless anti‑AI discussions, will not lead to a solution. There is no putting GenAI back in the bottle!
3. Treat GenAI as a shared responsibility
GenAI affects curriculum design, assessment, student support, digital literacy, employability, libraries, disability support, IT, policy and everywhere in between. It cannot sit on the shoulders of one department or lead. Every university needs a cross‑departmental AI strategy that includes the student union, academic leads, IT, the data protection office, careers, student support, administration and teaching and learning personnel. Until leadership treats GenAI as systemic, lecturers will keep firefighting contradictions and marking assignments they know were AI-generated. Bring everyone to the table, and don’t adjourn until decisions have been made on students and staff clarity (even if this clarity is dynamic in nature – do not continue to leave them navigating this alone for another three years).
What GenAI functions should be provided
At a minimum, institutions should give safe, equitable access to:
A campus-licensed GenAI model One model for all staff and students to ask questions, draft, summarise, explain and translate text, including support for multilingual learners.
Multimodal creation tools Tools to create images, audio, video (including avatars), diagrams, code, etc., with clear ethical and legal guidance.
Research support tools Tools to support research, transcribing, coding, summaries, theme mapping, citations, etc., that reinforce critical exploration
Assessment and teaching design tools Tools to draft examples, case variations, rubrics, flashcards, questions, etc., are stored inside institutional systems.
Custom agents Staff create and share custom AI agents configured for specific purposes: subject-specific scaffolding for students, or workflow agents for planning, resource creation and content adaptation. Keep interactions within institutional systems.
Accessibility focused GenAI Tools that deliver captions, plain language rewrites, alt text and personalised study materials. Many institutions already have these in place.
Safer GenAI tools for exploration, collaboration and reflection. Now what do they do with them? This is where something like Gen.S.A.R comes in. A potential approach where staff and students explore together with GenAI, and one that is adaptable to different contexts/disciplines.
Gen.S.A.R.
Gen.S.A.R. is simply a suggested starting point; there is no magic wand, but this may help to ignite practical ideas from others. It suggests a shift from passive content delivery to constructivist and experiential learning.
GenAI exploration and collaborative knowledge construction
Scrutinise and share
Apply in real-world contexts with a low or no-tech approach
Reflect and evaluate
It keeps critical thinking, collaboration and real-world application at the centre, with GenAI as a set of tools rather than a replacement for learning. Note: GenAI is a set of tools, not a human!
Phase 1: GenAI, constructing, not copy-pasting
Students use GenAI, the lecturer, and reputable sources to explore a concept or problem linked to the learning outcomes. Lecturers guide this exploration as students work individually or in groups. With ongoing lecturer input, students may choose whether to use GenAI or other sources, but all develop an understanding of GenAI’s role in learning.
Phase 2: Scrutinise and Share
The second phase focuses on scrutinising and sharing ideas with others, not just presenting them as finished facts. Students bring GenAI outputs, reputable sources and their own thinking into dialogue. They interrogate evidence, assumptions and perspectives in groups or class discussion (social constructivism, dialogic teaching). The lecturer – the content expert – oversees this process and identifies the errors, draws attention to the errors and helps students clarify GenAI outputs.
Phase 3: Apply, low-tech, real-world
Screens step back. Students apply what they have discovered in low or no-tech ways: diagrams, mind maps, zines, prototypes, role plays, scenarios. They connect what they discovered to real contexts and show understanding through doing, making, explaining and practical application.
Phase 4: Reflect, evaluate and look forward
Students then evaluate and reflect on both their learning process and the role of GenAI. Using written, audio, video or visual reflections, they consider what they learned, how GenAI supported or distorted that learning and how this connects to their future. This reflective work, combined with artefacts from earlier phases, supports peer, self and lecturer assessment and moves us towards competency and readiness-based judgements.
Resourcing Gen.S.A.R. Yes, smaller class sizes and support would be required, but aspects of this can be implemented now (and are being implemented by some already). Time shifts to facilitation, co-learning, process feedback, and authentic evaluation (less three-thousand-word essays). This approach is not perfect but at least it’s an approach and one that draws on long‑standing learning theories, including constructivism, social constructivism, experiential learning, and traditions in inclusive and competency‑based education.
There’s No Stopping It, Time to Shape It
GenAI is not going away. Exploitative labour practices, data abuse and profit motives are real (and not exclusive to AI), and naming these harms is essential, but continuing to let these debates dominate any movement is not helpful. Universities can choose to lead (and I commend, not condemn, those who already are) with clear guidance, equitable access to safe GenAI tools and learning design. The alternative is all the risks associated with students and staff relying on personal accounts and workarounds.
For the integrity of education itself, it is time to translate debates into action. The genie is not going back in the bottle, and our profit-driven society is not only shaped by Big Tech but also by the everyday choices of those of us living privileged lives in westernised societies. It is time to be honest about our own complicity, to step out of the ivory tower and work with higher education students to navigate the impact GenAI is having on their lives right now.
Note: My views on GenAI for younger learners is very different; the suggestions here focus specifically on higher education.

Exploring the pros and cons of AI & GenAI in education, and indeed in society. Currently completing a Doctorate in Education with a focus on AI & Emerging Technologies.
Passionate about the potential education has to develop one’s self-confidence and self-worth, but frustrated by the fact it often does the opposite. AI has magnified our tendency to overassess and our inability to truly move away from rote learning.
Whether I’m carrying out the role of an instructional designer, or delivering workshops or researching, I think we should work together to make education a catalyst of change where learners are empowered to become confident as well as socially and environmentally conscious members of society. With or without AI, let’s change the perception of what success looks like for young people.
