Abstract: Many scholars agree that there is no consensus between what students and teachers consider as proper use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). Further, even if there are a plethora of studies on the topic of AI as technical integration to the curricula and academia, a scarcity of research still exists as it relates to ethical aspects. The purpose of this Conceptual Framework contribution is to offer a new approach to understanding how to integrate AI into postsecondary teaching, learning, and administrative tasks. Specifically, we center this piece around the following question: how do educators, students, and administrators leverage generative AI's expanding capabilities to improve teaching and learning, while minimizing educational risks? In doing so, we offer a combined ADDIE-AIAS framework that may help to mitigate these issues in higher education and pair this framework with examples from the field to illustrate its application in different contexts.
