When Samita Sarkar was a new teacher, a lot was happening in the world. ChatGPT was going viral online — and so was a global pandemic.
As a secondary school English teacher, she found herself confronted with issues around artificial intelligence (AI) and student writing assessment with little to no policy guidance.
“We had to make high-stakes decisions around academic integrity, assessment and what counts as ‘student writing’ with no institutional guidance or administrative support,” she says.

From navigation to monitoring ocean traffic, artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasing role in ships and maritime operations — including those used by the Canadian Armed Forces.
But relying too heavily on AI in maritime vessels introduces new risks for human operators and defence systems, according to a new report from researchers at the University of Windsor.

From search results to article summaries, image generators and facial recognition, artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be everywhere.
Bonnie Stewart, a professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Windsor, challenges the idea that this AI omnipresence is inevitable or even something higher education should embrace.
Having worked in digital pedagogies since the late 1990s, Dr. Stewart’s research focuses on combining educational and sociological lenses to examine how digital tools are used.
