It explores the evolving landscape of Generative AI in higher education, drawing on interim findings from an ACPHIS-sponsored national project \u2013 with representation from 13 Universities, 20 IS academics are actively driving this initiative (ECRs, MCRs, Senior Professoriate), examining policy and guidance, risks and opportunities with GenAI in higher education, across 44 universities in Australia and New Zealand including systematic literature reviews. It will critically examine institutional readiness, policy gaps, and strategic opportunities for IS academics, universities, and policymakers. The session aims to foster a collaborative dialogue on shaping ethical, innovative, and inclusive AI integration across research and teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Date &amp;
