Exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and higher education: opportunities and challenges in the context of geomatics education

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In an era of rapid technological advances, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in higher education. The use of AI tools presents both great potential and significant challenges, especially with regard to examinations and performance assessments. This paper provides a compact insight into the current state of development on AI in university education. Experiences are shared including questions and concerns about AI in higher education teaching. The role of AI in higher education is explored, focusing on its potential benefits and challenges, particularly in examinations and performance assessments. It provides insights into the current state of AI development in universities, highlighting its diverse applications and the associated ethical and practical considerations. Experiences and perspectives from educators are shared, reflecting both optimism about AI’s ability to enhance learning outcomes and concerns regarding fairness, transparency, and privacy. The paper emphasizes the need for responsible integration of AI in higher education in engineering disciplines, such as geomatics, balancing innovation with ethical considerations to promote equity and excellence in teaching and learning.
