Exploratory study examines GAI policies across 130 iSchools, highlighting themes and engagement levels.
The debut of Generative AI (GAI) tools in late 2022 profoundly unsettled higher education institutions (HEIs), including the iSchools. This exploratory study is the first to scrutinize the 130 iSchools' GAI engagement. Consulting each iSchool's website, we conducted a qualitative content analysis of their GAI policies. Eighty‐seven (66.9%) have public‐facing GAI policies; the other third do not. We teased out seven themes in these 87 iSchools' policies: the ecology of GAI, opportunities and affordances, risk and concerns, conditions of use, best practices, compliance measures, and aspirations. We urge the iSchools to develop and implement a policy predicated on human‐centered GAI literacy . This research ultimately represents both a call for self‐reflexivity and a call to action.
