• Generative AI and Agency in Education: A Critical Scoping Review and Thematic Analysis

  Jasper Roe (James Cook University Singapore), Mike Perkins (British University Vietnam) · 24 July 2026

  This scoping review examines the relationship between Generative AI (GenAI) and agency in education, analyzing the literature available through the lens of Critical Digital Pedagogy. Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, we collected 10 studies from academic databases focusing on both learner and teacher…

• The Journal of Prompt-Engineered (Moral) Philosophy Or: Why AI-Assisted Ethics Research Requires Process Transparency

  Michele Loi · 19 May 2026

  Existing AI disclosure mandates in scholarship require that AI assistance be reported but leave transparency philosophically unspecified: they fix the duty without explaining what the duty serves. We argue that ethical inquiry is essentially contested at two independent levels -- about what it is, a…

• Hyper-learning and Unlearning: A Narrative Speculation on Urbanism in Media Ecologies

  Anqi Wang, Yue Hua, Xinyue Zhang, Jindi Jia, Corneel Cannaerts, Michiel Helbig, Pan Hui · 17 March 2026

  Hyper-learning and Unlearning is a speculative animation that reflect how learning is reconfigured within digital media ecologies. Using architectural education as a microcosm, the work reframes the city as a hyper-learning apparatus where urban space, algorithmic systems, and platform infrastructur…

• Technological Excellence Requires Human and Social Context

  Karl Palm{\aa}s, Mats Benner, Monica Billger, Ben Clarke, Raimund Feifel, Julia Fernandez-Rodriguez, Anna Foka, Juliette Griffi\'e, Claes Gustafsson, Kerstin Hamilton, Johan Holm\'en, Kristina Lindstr\"om, Tobias Olofsson, Joana B. Pereira, Marisa Ponti, Julia Ravanis, Sviatlana Shashkova, Emma Sparr, Pontus Strimling, Fredrik H\"o\"ok, Giovanni Volpe · 12 March 2026

  Breakthrough technologies increasingly shape social institutions, economic systems, and political futures. Yet models of research excellence associated with such technologies often prioritize technical performance, scalability, and short-term innovation metrics while treating ethical, social, and cu…

• Research Integrity and Academic Authority in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: From Discovery to Curation?

  Simon Chesterman, Loy Hui Chieh · 12 January 2026

  Artificial intelligence is reshaping the organization and practice of research in ways that extend far beyond gains in productivity. AI systems now accelerate discovery, reorganize scholarly labour, and mediate access to expanding scientific literatures. At the same time, generative models capable o…

• The Journal of Prompt-Engineered Philosophy Or: How I Started to Track AI Assistance and Stopped Worrying About Slop

  Michele Loi · 7 January 2026

  Academic publishing increasingly requires authors to disclose AI assistance, yet imposes reputational costs for doing so--especially when such assistance is substantial. This article analyzes that structural contradiction, showing how incentives discourage transparency in precisely the work where it…

• Cyber Humanism in Education: Reclaiming Agency through AI and Learning Sciences

  Giovanni Adorni · 19 December 2025

  Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly reshaping how knowledge is produced and validated in education. Rather than adding another digital tool, large language models reconfigure reading, writing, and coding into hybrid human-AI workflows, raising concerns about epistemic automation, c…
