This reflective essay examines the student-teacher relationships in the context of recent advancements in artificial intelligence. The essay draws on a conversation between the authors from an online event which brought together over 90 participants from South and Central Asia, East Africa, and Australia. By presenting these reflections, the essay encourages further dialogue within the IJSaP community about the role of AI in education. It invites readers to consider the implications of AI on student-teacher relationships and to explore ways to navigate the complexities introduced by AI in higher education, while remaining committed to human-centered pedagogical practices.
