Abstract

Generative AI, exemplified by models such as ChatGPT, has recently gained prominence due to its potential to revolutionise various aspects of society, including higher education. While some envision these technologies as transformative forces in learning and teaching, others express scepticism and concern that they may compromise academic integrity in higher education institutions (HEIs) and undermine the educational system, leading to diminished motivation and abilities among students. As the use of ChatGPT-like Generative AI becomes increasingly popular, it is vital to understand its impact on higher education and identify strategies that may address potential risks. Therefore, this paper reviews the impact of generative AI on higher education through a desk analysis of existing literature. Key opportunities and challenges are highlighted, providing a holistic overview of the subject matter. The paper concludes with four key strategies for HEIs to better embrace the growing use of Generative AI while proactively responding to associated challenges.
