Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education has been accelerated by the challenges imposed by the COVID - 19 pandemic, which have significantly altered the educational landscape. This paper explores the transformative potential of AI technologies in enhancing learning outcomes and pedagogical approaches in higher education. It examines AIs role in personalizing learning experiences, augmenting faculty capabilities, and improving administrative efficiency. Through a detailed analysis of recent literature, the study underscores the opportunities AI presents for adaptive learning systems, automated assessment tools, and data - driven decision - making processes, while addressing the challenges such as ethical considerations, data privacy, and the need for infrastructure adjustments. The findings highlight AIs critical role in addressing immediate educational disruptions and shaping a more efficient and responsive educational system.
