Through diverse scholarly perspectives the book examines how AI tools ranging from language models such as Chat GPT and Deep Seek to generative image systems could reshape the way we teach research and conceptualise interculturality. While AI offers innovative opportunities for virtual exchanges automated translation and accessible learning it also risks reinforcing stereotypes Western-centric epistemologies and reductive narratives if used uncritically. The contributors address pressing questions: Can AI facilitate decolonial and reflexive approaches to intercultural communication education or does it inevitably reproduce dominant paradigms? How can educators harness the potential of AI while safeguarding against its pitfalls such as algorithmic bias and the erasure of indigenous knowledge systems? Combining theoretical critique with case studies the volume highlights the need for ethical frameworks that prioritise epistemic justice pluralistic perspectives and human agency in AI-assisted intercultural communication and education. This book is an indispensable resource for students researchers and educators interested in the complexities of technology-mediated learning as well as the broader fields of higher education intercultural studies and internationalisation and globalisation.
