AI and education technology pose significant challenges to academic freedom as they shape and control pedagogy, research, and governance. Faculty are often left to adapt without adequate support, highlighting the need for consideration of institutional structures and policies. A report titled "Artificial Intelligence and the Academic Professions" identifies critical areas needing attention, including professional development regarding AI, shared governance, transparency, and protection for faculty rights. Recommendations from the report emphasize the urgency of active faculty participation to safeguard their rights and autonomy in the face of these encroachments.
Education technology presents an academic freedom issue as technological systems shape pedagogy, research, and governance, often controlled by entities outside of faculty.
