This current study investigated the emergent urgency of implementing artificial intelligence (AI) policy among higher education institutions in Bangladesh through ten university teacher and ten university student interviews. The study comprehensively uncovered the policy shortcomings, ethical struggle and governance issues regarding academic use of AI. Findings showed that while AI adoption in HEIs was growing quickly, the absence of fully developed institutional policies had created governance gaps and raised questions concerning both academic integrity and access equity. The study emphasized the urgent need for policy interventions in order to fill the policy vacuum and ensure responsible AI integration for higher education system of Bangladesh.
