Five guiding principles for navigating artificial intelligence in students as partners practice to preserve pedagogical trust

Trust has always been fundamental to pedagogical relationships, enabling or limiting the possibilities for partnership, participation, and learning.Conceptions of trust typically focus on individual instructors' or students' integrity, ability, or character.However, the idea of trust as "a confident relationship with the unknown" (Botsman, 2017, p. 15) is a radical departure from the norm for most university teachers and learners.As higher education confronts the new unknown of artificial intelligence (AI), I advocate facing this challenge together through partnership practices that nurture pedagogical trust-a confident, reciprocal learning relationship between students and teachers that is open to uncertainty and co-navigated through dialogic decisionmaking and shared sense-making.
