Long abstract	In the late 2010s, HE (higher education) leaders, practitioners, and researchers began to discuss how AI (artificial intelligence), as part and parcel of the 4IR (fourth industrial revolution), might transform IHEs (institutions of higher education) (Aoun 2017; Gleason 2018; Peters & Jandrić 2019). As they enthusiastically embraced the 4IR, however, their discussions tended to focus on how IHEs should actively adapt to the AI-driven economy without critically reflecting on how IHEs might intervene and reshape the trajectory of the 4IR itself. In this regard, their mode of thinking was rather reactive (Saito 2022).
