Generative AI has moved from novelty to a core tool in a remarkably short period of time. Doctoral students now routinely use AI tools to locate sources, summarize literature, generate outlines, and even draft sections of academic writing.
AI’s rapid integration into the higher-education landscape has prompted a period of profound structural reassessment.
