Abstract
Human agency is crucial in education and increasingly challenged by the use of generative AI. This meeting report synthesizes interdisciplinary insights and conceptualizes four aspects that delineate human agency: human oversight, AI-human complementarity, AI competencies, and relational emergence. We explore practical dilemmas for protecting and promoting agency, focusing on normative constraints, transparency, and cognitive offloading, and highlight key tensions and implications to inform ethical and effective AI integration in education.
