Jon Dron<p><strong>Venturing into the Unknown: Critical Insights into Grey Areas and Pioneering Future Directions in Educational Generative AI Research | TechTrends</strong></p><p>The latest paper I can proudly add to my list of publications,&nbsp; <em><a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11528-025-01060-6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Venturing into the Unknown: Critical Insights into Grey Areas and Pioneering Future Directions in Educational Generative AI Research&nbsp;</a></em>has been published in the (unfortunately) closed journal TechTrends. Here’s a <em><a href="https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s11528-025-01060-6?sharing_token=DOMuAR92XGyE8baL17ay8_e4RwlQNchNByi7wbcMAY5EyXrUdHFGORVfIaHnDamIO6M1DwBw515g5e9NJCLJ7wCvSIoTs18B0Hf_JPOVXx22Ih1-jVPW46f97eWoJZ4P14yhAFB2M89FUaMQqMWFDlLRdIo8qTRh1bL0S4WLFdo%3D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">direct link to the paper</a> </em>that should hopefully bypass the paywall, if it has not been used too often.</p><p>I’m 16th of 47 coauthors, led by the truly wonderful Junhong Xiao, who is the primary orchestrator and mastermind behind it. This is a companion piece to our <a href="https://openpraxis.org/articles/10.55982/openpraxis.16.4.777" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Manifesto for Teaching and Learning in a Time of Generative AI</a> and it starts where the other paper left off, delving further into what we don’t know (or at least do not agree that we know) about and (taking up most of the paper) what we might do about that lack of knowledge. I think this presents a pretty useful and wide-ranging research agenda for anyone with an interest in AI and education.</p><p>Methodologically, it emerged through a collaborative writing process between a very multinational group of international researchers in open, digital, and online learning. It’s not a random sample of people who happen to know one another: the huge group represents a rich mix of (extremely) well-established and (excellent) emerging researchers from a broad set of cultural backgrounds, covering a wide range of research interests in the field. Junhong does a great job of extracting the themes and organizing all of that into a coherent narrative.</p><p>In many ways I like this paper more than its companion piece. I think this is because, though its findings are – as the title implies – less well-defined than the first, I am more closely aligned with the underlying assumptions, attitudes and values that underpin the analysis. It grapples more firmly with the wicked problems and it goes deeper into the broader, situated, human nature of the systems in which generative AI is necessarily intertwingled, skimming over the more simplistic conversations about cheating, reliability, and so on to get at some meatier but more fundamental issues that, ultimately, relate to how and why we do this education thing in the first place.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p><em>Advocates of AI in Education (AIEd) assert that the current generation of technologies, collectively dubbed artificial intelligence, including generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), promise results that can transform our conceptions of what education looks like. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate how educators perceive GenAI and its potential use and future impact on education. Adopting the methodology of collective writing as an inquiry, this study reports on the participating educators’ perceived grey areas (i.e. issues that are unclear and/or controversial) and recommendations on future research. The grey areas reported cover decision-making on the use of GenAI, AI ethics, appropriate levels of use of GenAI in education, impact on learning and teaching, policy, data, GenAI outputs, humans in the loop and public–private partnerships. Recommended directions for future research include learning and teaching, ethical and legal implications, ownership/authorship, funding, technology, research support, AI metaphor and types of research. Each theme or subtheme is presented in the form of a statement, followed by a justification. These findings serve as a call to action to encourage a continuing debate around GenAI and to engage more educators in research. The paper concludes that unless we can ask the right questions now, we may find that, in the pursuit of greater efficiency, we have lost the very essence of what it means to educate and learn.</em></p><p><strong>Reference</strong></p> Xiao, J., Bozkurt, A., Nichols, M., Pazurek, A., Stracke, C.
