Topic: Higher Education Institutions Reactions to the Needs of Social Economic Development by Digital Transformation and AI

Abstract: Within the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as the primary topic of discussion worldwide. AI can also have an influence on digital transformation of higher education. Higher education faces an era of rapid socio-economic development and must meet a challenge of preparing a talent pool for the AI revolution. That is, preparing students with necessary skill sets to become competitive in the AI era. The pedagogical implications of the impact of emerging technologies on the way students learn and the way higher education is changing include, but are not limited by, application of AI and educational technologies to complement essential activities in higher education, changes in our traditional elements of teaching and learning, and some of the challenges faced by higher education institutions and students in adopting these technologies for teaching, learning, to name a few. In this seminar, we would like to discuss the findings of research in Higher Education Institutions and reveal how organizations react to transformative adaptation of higher education to the age of artificial intelligence.
