ICAI Canada Fall 2025 Speaker Series
Addressing Generative AI Head-On: Why and How Engaging with Generative AI Is an Expression of Trust and Agency (Dr. Danny Liu)
In this session, Dr. Danny Liu (University of Sydney) will examine how the value of our programs, in terms of integrity and relevance, can be held in balance to help students engage responsibly with AI while ensuring graduates develop the capabilities their degrees represent. He will reflect on the “two-lane approach” adopted at the University of Sydney and other institutions, highlighting its implications for integrity and relevance as well as lessons from its implementation.
The session will also consider what generative AI means for students’ futures, how it might enhance rather than diminish the humanity of teaching, and how courageous engagement with it can foster honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility.
Date: October 29, 2025
Time: 3:00-4:30 pm (EST)

You can join one conversation or participate in the whole series to reflect, share, and rethink approaches to assessment and integrity in the classroom.
