Generative AI arrives into a university system that is already to a significant extent automated. Core activities are carried out through digital platforms, key aspects of knowledge work are datafied and algorithmically governed, and university communities are subjected to new digital forms of monitoring and control. Artificial intelligence also has a long history in the academy, both as a subject of research and development, and as a resource for ‘enhancing’ education and scholarship, as well as the administrative functions of the university. In this webinar, three key thinkers on educational automation will address the new challenges, problematics, logics and opportunities presented by generative AI. *Register here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7HMBdMgqQ6y-wmnVjC4Zkg#/registration <https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7HMBdMgqQ6y-wmnVjC4Zkg#/registration>* *Janja Komljenovic (X @J_Kom_) is a Senior Lecturer in Education Futures at the University of Edinburgh.
