Abstract: The rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is transforming the teaching and learning process, reshaping the traditional relationship between students and educators. Tools like ChatGPT enable real-time generation of texts, images, videos, and responses, fostering more personalized, interactive, and accessible learning experiences. However, alongside these benefits, significant challenges emerge—such as inaccuracies in generated content, student overreliance on AI, and a decline in critical thinking. Many learners tend to accept AI outputs uncritically, which may compromise learning quality. In this evolving educational landscape, educators are no longer faced with the choice of whether to use these tools, but rather how to integrate them ethically, responsibly, and pedagogically. This study aims to explore the role of GAI in higher education, examining its contributions to the teaching and learning process. A qualitative approach was adopted through a structured literature review. The research included peer-reviewed articles from databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, SciELO, and Web of Science, as well as reports from international conferences. Findings indicate that GAI is increasingly used in higher education for academic writing, research support, audiovisual content creation, and independent study. The study concludes that, when guided by sound pedagogical practices, GAI can enhance learning by promoting autonomy, personalization, and engagement.
