This is a comprehensive paper offering 19 'guidelines' for instructional AI systems. I think it may be a popular approach because the overall result is that 'AI should not change anything', exemplified by this sentiment that "instructors... frequently highlighted the alignment of AI tools with their personal instructional approach because using AI tools with contrasting approaches can be a challenge." The tools studied were all 'personal tutoring' tools, and though the authors worked in the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework the outcome is still by-the-book 'personalized' instruction.
