Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is impacting education, necessitating the development of new skills. Playful Learning approaches are expected to take a leading role in digital transformation in higher education (HE) including new tools, such as the use of AI. While generative AI is being widely explored, it has been mainly investigated through the functionality of the technology, and not the possibilities for engendering Playful Learning. Consequently, research on AI-human interaction as playful knowledge co-creation is entirely lacking. This study addresses this challenge by tapping the research on Playful Learning in the context of HE through students’ reflections on the co-creation of knowledge with generative AI, offering a tentative framework for AI Play.
