Sandra Baroudi. (2026). Anticipatory governance and leadership for AI implementation in higher education: A scoping review. International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41239-026-00616-7
q1 · i? · review · r2
An untested assertion in the review's discussion, attributed to Bates et al. (2020). The review offers no empirical evidence or effect size for it in the text provided; it is recorded as the review's own interpretive claim.
"Furthermore, the dominance of adaptive learning within AI integration undermines educational goals and limits student agency and creativity (Bates et al., 2020). Without intentional efforts to incorporate diverse pedagogies and stakeholders' voices, the integration of AI risks rein-forcing systemic inequities rather than eliminating them."
