Learning, Media and Technology has dedicated its latest issue (Vol. 50, Issue 3, 2025) to exploring the future of generative AI (GenAI) in education. The special issue brings together theoretical investigations into how GenAI is reshaping teaching and learning—often in ways that reflect business-driven values rather than educational principles like equity, critical thinking, or human-centred learning.
While GenAI was not originally designed for education, its tools are rapidly being integrated into classrooms and academic work, raising both opportunities and challenges. The issue highlights critical scholarship on GenAI’s uneven impacts, weighing potential benefits against serious concerns for the future of learning.
