Andrea Stazi (University San Raffaele Roma; National University of Singapore — Faculty of Law) has posted Towards a University of Hybrid Intelligence, Techno Polis Policy Brief no. 2/2026, on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence into higher education represents a structural transformation in how knowledge is created and transmitted. This paper argues for a shift from a “replacement” mentality to an “enhancement” approach, where AI challenges and elevates unique human skills. Drawing on evidence from the OECD and UNESCO, it explores the “mirage of false mastery,” where immediate performance gains can mask the erosion of deep learning and critical thinking. To mitigate these risks, the paper advocates for a “Slow AI” strategy—using AI as a Socratic partner to refine creative thinking rather than an oracle for quick answers. Furthermore, it emphasizes the necessity of developing “hybrid human-AI skills” to address the digital skills gap, where only 56% of Europeans currently possess basic digital literacy. The conclusion proposes a move toward “pedagogical sovereignty” through specialized “EdGPT” models and “Teacher-AI Teaming” to ensure that universities foster critical hybrid intelligence rather than passive technological execution.
