Subclaims¶

q1 i? The article argues that universities failing to progress beyond Levels 0 or 1 risk a reactive mode producing fragmented teaching practices, growing misalignment between assessment and real-world practice, and missed opportunities to prepare students for AI-enabled professional environments. → Binkowski 2026

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

This is the authors' analytical argument, not an empirical test: the article offers no data for this claim. It rests on sector observations that transformation is constrained by fragmented institutional responses and insufficient alignment of workload, incentives, and support structures.

"risk falling into a reactive mode where policies attempt to contain AI rather than harness it for learning, leading to fragmented teaching practices, growing misalignment between assessment and real-world practice"

• Existing GenAI assessment frameworks (traffic light, two-lane, AIAS) remain broad, lack discipline-specific applicability, and are unvalidated in authentic settings — related
• Governance model shaped AIAS adoption: rapid central rollout generated momentum but curtailed reflection, while department-led adoption built ownership but fragmented strategy — related
• Only eight of 130 sampled universities had a business-school-specific AI policy, limiting discipline-specific alignment — related
• The article argues that memorization-centered management education faces three specific challenges: theory-practice disconnection, textbook lag, and simulation-reality divide — related
• The article argues that formal rules and enforcement mechanisms alone are insufficient to shape student AI-use behaviour in practice — related
• Existing upskilling frameworks accelerate single stages and leave four gaps: fragmentation, missing verification, shallow default LLM pedagogy, and lack of external outcome measurement — related
