Two documents were produced by LSE staff and students in 2024/25 regarding the interrogation of GenAI use in higher education.
Student Manifesto for Assessment in the Age of AI
In April 2024, the LSESU published a Student Manifesto for Assessment in the Age of AI (produced by collaboration between LSE Student's Union and LSE Eden Centre). This Manifesto is the outcome of dialogue, feedback and reflection among a diverse group of students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels as well as general course students, across multiple departments, both qualitative and quantitative, at LSE. This was launched at the joint LSE-Peking University (PKU) Conference on Global Approaches to Gen AI in Higher Education on 4 April.

Manifesto for the essay in the age of AI
In June 2024, a group of academics from King’s College London and LSE came together to explore the future of the essay in the age of AI. The aim of the resulting manifesto (finalised in September) is to stimulate debate, foster reflection and provide educators and students alike with an analytical framework for reimagining the essay as a dynamic tool for learning and assessment in the AI era.
