AI is increasingly appearing in collective agreements

James Yoonil Auh


Higher education is approaching a new bargaining frontier. AI has already entered academic work. The question now is whether the conditions under which it reshapes that work will be set primarily by universities and technology providers or negotiated with the people whose labour is being transformed.

India’s US$77 million push to build the country’s first Quantum and AI University in Amaravati, in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, is ambitious. The blueprints are aspirational, but they hit an immediate bottleneck: India has a massive shortage of qualified AI professors and researchers.

Universities in the United Kingdom are cutting the skills and capabilities they need most, only to pay to rebuild them later, according to new research into the professional and support staff who make up the majority of the UK higher education workforce, according to a new report.

The Taliban’s suspension of seven private universities and cancellation of the licences of two others have intensified concerns over the future of Afghanistan’s private higher education sector, amid falling enrolment, and whether this is an attempt to improve standards or increase control.

A review of six leading universities in Japan and the United Kingdom revealed clear policies on the acceptable use of AI by students seeking admission – but no policies that disclose or govern institutions’ own use of AI in admissions processes. There should be comparable standards of transparency.

The educational consequences of climate disaster should not be limited to the impact on settlements, buildings, exams and classes. They should also be about the capacity of universities to turn a devastating experience into knowledge for a more uncertain future.

Given its speed, scale and scope, the Bundibugyo Ebola virus disease that broke out in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in mid-2026 could become a global epidemic. The most urgent action needed is to double down on real-time testing. What else needs to be done?

Higher education institutions can become so consumed by bureaucracy, compliance and risk management that they lose sight of the qualities that justify their existence: intellectual courage, scholarship, humanity, fairness and the capacity to cultivate academic excellence. It can create a culture in which true leadership is undermined.

In higher education, good generative AI behaviours by students must be designed into assignments. Five classroom practices can do most of the work: the AI use appendix, structured error-hunting, challenging the AI, a short oral defence and – underpinning it all – a rewritten marking rubric.

Times Higher Education’s new sustainability rankings may prove profitable for them, but there are such wide variations between different sustainability rankings and questions about who takes part and how progress towards individual Sustainable Development Goals are measured that they are unlikely to be helpful for universities.

France has set an ambitious goal of attracting 30,000 Indian students by 2030, even though the number of Indian students going abroad has dipped, believing it can succeed by offering affordable education, enhanced career prospects and closer ties with India in technology and innovation.
