Abstract:
|
In the higher education odyssey of the 21st century, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands as a transformative force. This presentation delves into the positive and negative implications of AI adoption in higher education, drawing parallels with the iconic movie '2001: A Space Odyssey' and its infamous HAL 9000. Universities are already harnessing AI to streamline academic advising processes, leveraging machine learning algorithms and data analytics to provide personalized guidance for students. The positive aspects include enhanced efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and improved accessibility. However, concerns arise regarding privacy, ethical considerations, and the potential for human disconnection in the advising relationship. As we navigate this AI-driven odyssey, the role of technologies like ChatGPT emerges, offering both innovative solutions and raising critical questions about the future landscape of higher education. |
