A new edited volume, coordinated by Jérôme Duberry and Laura Bullón-Cassis, has been accepted for publication by Edward Elgar Publishing. Titled Artificial Intelligence and the University: Reclaiming Agency in an Unequal World, the book will be published in open access and brings together contributions from scholars and practitioners across Europe, North America, Latin America, South-East Asia and Africa. The project originated in an international workshop hosted at the Institute on 4 et 5 December 2025, and supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation's Scientific Exchanges programme.
The volume examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping the three core missions of the university – research, teaching and institutional governance – and argues that these transformations can only be understood by treating the three as interdependent. Notably, this same conviction runs through the book's own introduction, which frames the volume's central argument around what the editors describe as a "whole-of-university approach" to AI.
The Institute also features within the volume itself. In Part II, "Institutional Responses to AI," a chapter co-authored by Ralph Müller, Laurent Neury and Bruno Chatagnat titled "Building an Institutional AI Strategy: Process, Content and Vision at the Geneva Graduate Institute" draws on the Institute's own recent experience, tracing the year-long, community-wide process through which it developed its AI strategy, from governance design and consultation to the shared principles and action plan that now guide its approach to AI across teaching, research and administration.
The volume's eighteen chapters are organised in three parts, addressing respectively the contested global AI ecosystem in which universities now operate, institutional responses to AI, and the rethinking of teaching, learning and assessment that generative AI has prompted. Publication details will be shared as the manuscript moves through the editorial process.
