AI in Higher Education: A New Frontier for Learning Two years after the rise of ChatGPT, the conversation around AI in education is evolving. While the potential for cheating remains a concern, the bigger question is how we can leverage AI to transform learning for the better. Associate Professor Jason Lodge from the University of Queensland shares five key areas for higher education to focus on: ** Prioritize "people skills": Teach students critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and independent learning - areas where AI falls short. ** Ensure equitable access: Help all students, regardless of tech proficiency, utilize AI tools effectively and ethically. ** Prepare students for future jobs: Adapt curriculum to address the changing workforce landscape shaped by AI. ** Boost information literacy: Train students to discern truth from noise in a world saturated with AI-generated content. ** Lead the tech change: Universities should shape the future of AI in education, not simply follow industry trends. #AI #Education #FutureofLearning #UniversityofQueensland #highered
