AI and robots in Higher Education: Eight design fictions

Eight design fictions that imagine the application of AI and robots to Higher Education (HE).<br>Based on a wide ranging literature review, the fictions instantiate the possibilities and controversies around AI and robots as applied in the university context, including teaching, administration and research.<br>The methods used to design this version of the fictions are described in the paper "The development of a collection of design fictions about Artificial Intelligence and robots in Higher Education" (https://doi.org/10.35542/osf.io/s2jc8) <br><br>Design fictions create a speculative space in which to raise questions about whether a particular technology is desirable, the socio-cultural assumptions built into technologies, the potential for different technologies to make different worlds, our relation to technology in general, indeed our role in making the future happen in general. <br><br>They can be used in research or teaching to elicit opinions about the future application of AI and robots to HE.<br>Fiction 1: AIDan, the teaching assistantFiction 2: FootbotballFiction 3: CriticalBot in conversationFiction 4: The intelligent campus appFiction 5: Research Management Suite TMFiction 6: Verbatim minutes of University AI project steering committee: AI implementation phase 3Fiction 7: DashboardsFiction 8: Minnie, the AI admin assistant<br>The project was funded by Society of Research into Higher Education - Research Scoping Award -SA1906.

本数据集包含八项设计虚构场景，用于畅想人工智能（AI）与机器人技术在高等教育（Higher Education，HE）中的应用。
本系列虚构场景基于广泛的文献综述构建，具象化了人工智能与机器人技术在高校场景（涵盖教学、行政与科研领域）中应用的潜在可能与争议焦点。
本系列虚构场景的设计方法已在论文《高等教育领域人工智能与机器人设计虚构场景集的构建》（原文标题："The development of a collection of design fictions about Artificial Intelligence and robots in Higher Education"）中详述，论文链接：https://doi.org/10.35542/osf.io/s2jc8。

设计虚构场景可构建一个思辨空间，用于探讨诸如特定技术是否合乎需求、技术所内嵌的社会文化假设、不同技术催生差异化未来世界的潜力、人类与技术的普遍关系，乃至人类在塑造未来进程中的角色等诸多议题。
该系列虚构场景可应用于科研或教学场景，以征集学界对人工智能与机器人技术在高等教育领域未来应用的观点与看法。

场景1：教学助理AI丹（AIDan）
场景2：机器人工足球（Footbotball）
场景3：对话式批判性机器人（CriticalBot）
场景4：智能校园应用程序
场景5：科研管理套件TM（Research Management Suite TM）
场景6：高校人工智能项目指导委员会逐字记录：人工智能实施第三阶段
场景7：数据仪表盘
场景8：行政助理AI明妮（Minnie）
