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.
