Abstract
The growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has affected higher education in a dramatic way, shifting the norms of teaching and learning. With these shifts come major ethical questions relating to surveillance, exacerbated social inequality, and threats to job security. This article overviews some of the discourses that are developing on the integration of AI into the higher education setting, with focus on LIS and librarianship, considers the role of LIS and librarianship in intervening in the trajectory of AI in learning and teaching, and weighs in on the place of professional LIS ethics in relation to confronting AI-led technological transformations.Keywords
