The danger with AI was never that it lies, or that we can't tell when it's bullshitting. It's that we stop caring about what’s true.

If a student uses generative AI to write an essay and edits and reworks it until they actually understand it - did they cheat? If a student writes every word alone but understands nothing and forgets it by Monday - did they not? We need to engage differently with the nature(s) of cheating in 2026.

Who owns generative AI in your institution? IT makes it infrastructure. Faculty makes it pedagogy. But librarians - information experts versed in epistemology - may be the most underestimated piece of the puzzle. Cross-functional ownership is hard but beats single-department ownership every time

“If AI consistently produced garbage, students could ignore it. If it consistently produced excellence, they could learn to use it appropriately. Instead, students have no way to predict which interaction will be reliable, which means every interaction requires an exhaustive verification process.”

Critical thinking is a key component of learning, but this is not what's happening here. The technology fundamentally mismatches the epistemological demands it creates with the capabilities of its primary educational users. New piece: jeppestricker.substack.com/p/the-exhaus...

Den næste journalist, ekspert eller meningsdanner der bruger udtrykket “kravle ned fra træet” burde straks kravle op i et træ og blive der, indtil man af egen drift kan finde på en mindre slidt metafor.

På opfordring fra Ingeniøren har jeg skrevet lidt om organisatorisk teknologiafhængighed i den danske uddannelsessektor. Danske uddannelsesinstitutioner bør spørge sig selv: Hvem kontrollerer egentlig vores digitale infrastruktur? Læs artiklen her: www.version2.dk/holdning/vi-...

Why do we trade structural harms for individual convenience with generative AI? We pursue “productivity gains” over IP theft, labor exploitation, environmental damage, and power consolidation. Why are we treating this as reasonable rather than asking who benefits from framing it this way?

Jeppe Klitgaard Stricker @jeppestricker.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

AI policies and enforcement are largely just theater. Ironically, the real issue is hiding in plain sight: We have no idea what learning looks like anymore. We won't know until we articulate what we actually value. Only then can we begin to talk about AI implementation in higher education.

In 2026, higher ed institutions have an opportunity to lead by building AI adoption frameworks that don’t compromise on transparency, security, or ethical rigor. Organizations that can demonstrate robust ethical frameworks won’t just be ticking compliance boxes - they’ll be trusted.

Danmark Skifter er et fremragende initiativ. Jeg tror imidlertid også, at vi har behov for et initiativ målrettet erhverv (“Danmark Skifter Erhverv”), da der er brug for øget opmærksomhed i forhold til de logikker, vi temmelig blindt og naivt stadigvæk lader os styre af. danmarkskifter.dk

The habits students form with generative AI now will likely last a lifetime. We’re not just debating assignment design or academic integrity policies. We’re shaping how people will think and solve problems for the next 40 years. That should give us pause. jeppestricker.substack.com/p/7-points-o...

For years, I taught research writing and helped students refine research questions-- a messy, uncomfortable, often slow process. How is AI reshaping the questions we ask? A pleasure to explore this topic with @jeppestricker.bsky.social for @unesco.org Ideas Lab www.unesco.org/en/articles/...

In our new piece for UNESCO, @victoriajane.bsky.social and I explore unclear questions in higher education. In educational systems primarily built for output, the danger isn’t only that we stop thinking. It’s also that we may forget how to begin at all. www.unesco.org/en/articles/...

The disappearance of the unclear question

AI speeds up research, but without friction, do students lose the deep thinking that turns bad questions into meaningful learning?

Students can use generative AI to cheat. But more importantly, the technology can also train them not to think. The real test of AI literacy will be whether students can maintain their drive to think for themselves in a world of cognitive shortcuts. The future of education began two years ago.
