The collaboration between University of Bremen and Brunel University London was facilitated by a small grant from the Young European Research Universities Network.

Like any other technology in the past decades, Artificial Intelligence is regarded a “game changer in education”. The hope is to use AI to tackle some of the big educational challenges like achievement gaps, equality, social justice.

In Higher Education, we can identify different speeds of implementation of AI-based tools, and digitalisation in general. The reasons can be divided in the categories: (1) constitutive for HEI in general as the speed differs between the core processes of HEI (Teaching and learning, research, administration), (2) relative to a specific HEI and its governance, (3) situative to external changes (like a pandemic, or European developments).

The presentation will discuss the different speeds and its effects on educational management. By using examples of AI technologies. It will reflect its opportunities and risks. The focus is on the transformational powers on educational management:

• How do HEI react in their governance?

• Is the implementation of AI technologies changing the structures and processes in HEI, and what are forces of resistance?

• What are coping strategies of leadership, staff, and students?

Prof. Andreas Breiter is full professor for Information Management and Educational Technologies in the Department for Mathematics and Informatics at the University of Bremen (Germany) and the Chief Digital Officer (https://www.uni-bremen.de/cdo). He is the scientific director of the Institute for Information Management Bremen (https://www.ifib.de/en) and co-founder of the University's Data Science Center (https://www.dsc-ub.de/en/). His research interests around the digital transformation encompass technological and organizational change as well as processes of deep mediatization in the educational systems.
