Hannan, Erin, Liu, Shuguang·2023·Competitiveness Review: An International Business Journal

Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to survey the current landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in higher education institutions (HEIs) and recommend future directions. Design/methodology/approach This paper reviews the recent trends, showcases the applications and provides future directions through a review of current uses of AI in HEIs. Findings The results of this study highlight successful applications of AI technologies in three main areas of college operation: student learning experience; student support; and enrollment management. Research limitations/implications This review has important implications for early adopters of AI by HEIs in providing a competitive advantage. The limitation lies in the scope of the review. It is not comprehensive and does not cover other areas of college operations. Originality/value This is the first review about AI in higher education. It is of value in building future research and serving as a framework for AI applications in HEI.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
