Working group for AI in education at AAU

Aalborg Universitet

Working group for AI in education

The Working Group for AI in Education was established by Det strategiske uddannelsesråd to strengthen collaboration and coordination among the units at Aalborg University that work with AI support in relation to education. The group’s work is anchored in the university’s strategy Knowledge for the World, particularly goal 5.4 concerning a strategic framework for AI in education.

Initiatives 2026

Joint Introduction to AI in Education

How can generative AI be meaningfully introduced in a study and learning context for students? This is a challenge for many educators and supervisors at the university. We have developed a unified AAU slide and video package that educators and supervisors across the university can use as a starting point when introducing students to the use of generative AI.

Pilot projects 2026

The working group support pilot projects that work with AI in education - stay tuned to follow! Call for application is now closed.

AI in group work: Resources for students

In 2026, we work with providing resources to ensure students can align expectations on generative AI, when they work in groups.

Declaration and rules: inspiration

The working group aims to provide inspirational material that can be used when educations decide how and when to declare use of generative AI, and how to determine rules of use.

Communication on AI and education

Students must learn to use generative AI within the framework of their study programmes while also gaining AI competencies relevant to their field.
The communication effort should encourage experimentation and exploration (AI literacy) and shift the focus from “you must not” to “you may” — supported by good examples and AI as a learning companion.
To ensure the correct use of generative AI in academic settings, educators must be equipped to support and answer questions. This requires both professional development for educators and clear communication about usage, frameworks, and misuse.​

Students' Perspective on Generative AI - A study

Questionnaires were distributed on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, to all students.
The study has been developed in close collaboration with representatives from relevant departments, and with input from researchers who have worked in the field.

The study will serve as a foundation for future work with AI in education and ensures that our strategy is driven by needs and data.

Former initiatives of the working group

Theme Day on AI and Education for Students

A theme day on AI in education for students will be held on Thursday, November 20, from 09:30 to 11:30.
The event will be held online to ensure participation from students across AAU’s three campuses.
The theme day will generate video material that can be integrated into the communication efforts around AI in education and provide long-term value.
