Description:
Higher education research is experiencing a paradigm shift with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As academic institutions grapple with increasing volumes of data, complex interdisciplinary projects, and the demand for faster innovation, AI offers unprecedented opportunities to streamline processes, uncover insights, and foster global collaboration.
Globally, universities are adopting AI to automate literature reviews, analyze large datasets, predict research trends, and enhance peer-reviewed publishing. However, challenges such as ethical AI use, algorithmic bias, data privacy, and the digital divide persist. This session will explore how AI is revolutionizing research practices, enabling smarter decision-making, and democratizing access to advanced tools for institutions worldwide.
Participants will gain insights into real-world applications of AI in academia, including natural language processing for scholarly article generation, machine learning for predictive research modeling, and AI-driven platforms for cross-institutional collaboration. The discussion will also highlight strategies to balance innovation with ethical responsibility, ensuring AI serves as an equitable force in advancing global knowledge.
