AI and Higher Education – Opportunities, Challenges and Trends
AI and Higher Education: Opportunities, Challenges and Trends explores the profound transformation artificial intelligence is unleashing across global universities. From redefining teaching, research, and administration to reshaping relationships among students, faculty, staff, and leadership, AI has become a pervasive force and a reality demanding urgent response. This timely and incisive monograph examines AI’s place in historical context, maps regional adoption trends across continents, and critically analyzes how institutions are responding. It highlights not only the potential benefits of AI in enhancing learning and operations, but also the ethical, cultural, and environmental dilemmas it raises. Offering strategic guidance on policy, governance, and innovation, the monograph equips key stakeholders in higher education with the tools to engage AI thoughtfully and equitably in the academy. Drawing on comparative global examples and interdisciplinary research, it identifies both risks and opportunities. Bridging global perspectives with practical recommendations, this is an essential guide for educators, administrators, policymakers, and anyone invested in the future of higher education.
