AI is perceived as one of the most revolutionary technologies of our times. It is increasingly affecting many sectors including higher education.
AI is associated with considerable economic and social benefits as well as major concerns including those related to its effects on jobs, welfare state and democracy.
This talk will present research findings on how AI, its benefits and related concerns are framed in policy documents launched by the government and stakeholders in the UK, other countries and international organisations.
It will outline implications of AI for higher education such as changes in job markets, the need for multidisciplinary research and education, AI literacy, AI talent race as well as the use of AI and robots at universities.
