AI can transform the ways we communicate, make decisions and solve problems in our daily lives, including education
More than 50% of students in the US expect that their use of generative tools will increase over the next six months, and at least 38% are already using the tools during their studies
Many institutions in higher education don't know how to leverage the full potential of AI or integrate it well with learning and instruction
Equipping teachers with AI expertise is the need of the hour to leverage AI's potential
Institutions should offer targeted training, hands-on workshops, and peer support to close the gap between AI skills and knowledge of teachers and students
Faculty should experience AI firsthand to understand its benefits. They can use it to ease administrative responsibilities, giving them more time to enhance lessons and educational experiences
Responsible AI use in education must ensure that AI systems support learning and well-being while protecting student data and privacy
AI applications must be implemented fairly, ensuring all students have equal access to personalized learning experiences
Institutions need to create comprehensive AI policy frameworks and guidelines to guide the responsible use of AI in higher education
Embracing AI in higher education will allow students to develop skills they need for the workforce and become the leaders of tomorrow
