The Rise of Chat GPT and AI in Higher Education

Chat GPT, an AI-powered chatbot, has raised concerns and questions about its impact on higher education. Administrators are divided on whether it is an opportunity or a threat. Teaching is seen as the facet of college life that will be most influenced by generative AI. Some see the potential for personalized education and career preparation, while others worry about disinformation and cheating. Academic integrity policies and guidelines around the use of generative AI are still being developed. However, educators are starting to incorporate chat GPT into the classroom, allowing students to engage critically with its outputs and encouraging them to think independently and ask better questions.
