Implications of generative artificial intelligence in higher education: Opportunities, challenges and the future of personalized learning XV Taller Internacional “Universidad, Ciencia y Tecnología”
Main Article Content
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming higher education, offering unprecedented opportunities for personalized learning, the creation of innovative educational content, and improved administrative efficiency. This paper examines the impact of generative AI on higher education and its implications, focusing on the use of AI-generated audiovisual, textual, and image content. The advantages of AI in creating adaptive learning resources, automating repetitive tasks, and fostering student creativity are explored. However, ethical and practical challenges are also addressed, such as the need to ensure the accuracy and fairness of AI-generated content, plagiarism detection, and data privacy protection. Furthermore, the implications for the role of educators and the need to develop new skills and competencies in students to navigate an increasingly AI-driven world are discussed. Documentary review was used as the research method. Finally, a vision of the future of higher education is presented, where AI is effectively integrated to enhance the learning experience and prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century.
