Are we using AI to work smarter, or letting it replace our critical thinking?
A global study led by IAL's Principal Researcher, Associate Professor Chen Zan, found that while 63.6% of educators use AI to save time, most organisations still lack a clear AI strategy. This creates a gap between individual adoption and institutional support.
Assoc Prof Chen Zan is also one of the editors for the book "Navigating the AI Frontier in Adult Education: International Practices and Perspectives from Adult Learning, Training, and Higher Education". The publication introduces the Co-Intelligence Matrix, a framework for intentional and responsible use of AI to automate routine tasks, augment human expertise, and free people to focus on higher-value work such as creativity, collaboration and decision-making.
