Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The landscape of higher education is undergoing a profound transformation, driven in large part by the rapid advancements and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Far from being a futuristic concept, AI is increasingly becoming a tangible and impactful force within universities and colleges, reshaping everything from pedagogy and student support to administrative processes and research methodologies.

Exploring the Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education

Although the media implies that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is new to education, that is not completely accurate. AI has been around since the early 2010s; during that time, many institutions began to implement personalized learning tools and automated grading systems.

Some additional everyday examples of AI include:

  • Facial Recognition Software
  • Writing Editors Such as Grammarly
  • ChatBots (24 Hour Chat Support on Websites)
  • Self- Driving Cars
  • Fraud Prevention

While there are some concerns surrounding AI's role in education and in the world, our approach at GSU focuses on educating individuals on its proper use and ensuring ethical use of all Artificial Intelligence. Through personalized learning paths, automating tasks (see list above for some examples), and offering real-time feedback and targeted support, AI is designed to empower educators and students.
