About the show

Conversations about artificial intelligence and what it actually means for universities — teaching, assessment, research and the people doing the work.

Each episode is a working conversation rather than a briefing. We talk to people who are actually doing this work — academics rewriting assessment, learning designers rebuilding subjects, edtech staff evaluating tools that were announced last week and shipped yesterday — and we try to be honest about what is genuinely useful and what is noise.

It is made for university staff, academics, learning designers and edtech people. We assume you are informed, short on time, and allergic to being pitched a "transformative AI solution."

The hosts

Portrait of Dale Leszczynski

Dale Leszczynski

Co-host

Dale Leszczynski is Head of AI - Education at RMIT University, where he leads the Generative AI Lab for Education (GAILE). An early interest in filmmaking, storytelling and the technology behind them led him into educational content, curriculum development and educator capability building. Today, his work focuses on helping educators explore AI, develop the confidence to use it purposefully, and understand what it means for teaching and learning. On Adjunct Intelligence, Dale brings that mix of creative curiosity and practical experience to conversations about what AI makes possible, where it falls short, and what people should keep doing for themselves.
