Generative AI Lab for Education (GAILE)

GAILE was established to guide and enable human-centred adoption of AI in education at RMIT and beyond.

As an institution committed to innovation and global leadership, RMIT University is committed to embracing AI not as a passing trend, but as a catalyst for new ways of learning, teaching and discovery.

GAILE's work aims to support meaningful integration of AI in learning and teaching, so that:

educators have the capability and confidence to innovate with AI
RMIT’s teaching, learning, curriculum and assessment is elevated with the support of AI
our community of educators and students develop critical understanding of AI and use AI responsibly and ethically.

Exploring AI in Education

About GAILE

The Generative AI Lab for Education (GAILE) at RMIT was established with a sector-facing mission: to guide and enable human-centred adoption of AI in education.

We’re building GAILE as a catalyst for transformation to build understanding of where AI creates real and impactful value. With a focus on how AI can amplify the work of educators and, in turn, better support and empower students.

Together we will:

For AI: build educator capability and confidence to innovate with AI.
With AI: enhance teaching, learning, curriculum and assessment.
About AI: foster critical, ethical and societal understanding.

In collaboration with students, staff, industry and government, GAILE fast-tracks initiatives from concept to implementation with clarity and pace. We’re not just responding to AI, we’re building a community to shape it, always asking how it amplifies human expertise and enriches student learning.

Our vision

A connected community of educators who are confident, responsible and creative in their use of AI and empowered to lead change, deepen human learning and turn possibility into practice.

Our mission

GAILE translates AI strategy into educator practice. We take institutional frameworks and make them actionable in teaching contexts, building shared understanding of what AI capability means and how it develops. Through structured experimentation, collective learning and guidance that makes AI adoption feel safe and aligned with RMIT values, we're guiding RMIT's education community and the broader sector from isolated early experiments to confident, responsible and widespread practice.

Strategy in action

The establishment of GAILE is a key action in RMIT’s Education Plan to 2028. Its goals in translating institutional commitment into educator-led practice specifically for the education sphere aligns with Goal 1 of RMIT’s Knowledge with Action strategy (Horizon 2).

True to our motto of skilled hand and cultivated mind, GAILE creates the conditions for educators to experiment critically, learn collectively, and claim ownership over their professional judgement in an AI-augmented landscape.

How we use AI in our work

At GAILE, we have made a conscious and carefully considered decision to use generative AI in our work.

As a lab focused on generative AI in education, we believe our practice should reflect the kind of responsible, ethical and thoughtful use of AI that we encourage in others. That means being clear about where and how AI contributes to our work, and equally clear that our work is always human-driven and pedagogy-led.

We use AI as a partner in the process. This may include developing blogs, imagery, slide decks, resources and other forms of content. In practice, that can involve using AI to explore ideas, draft and refine text, generate and test visual concepts, shape resources, consider different explanations and support creative development.

GAILE sets the priorities and direction of our work and we exercise integrity in our decision-making. Our team sets the purpose, applies educational expertise, exercises judgement, makes the decisions and takes responsibility for what is published. The thinking, values and intent behind the work remain ours.

We believe AI can be a meaningful collaborator, and we see modelling that kind of purposeful, critical and human-centred practice as part of our role.
