Abstract

Artificial intelligence, as a strategic technology leading the future, has been widely used in various fields of society in recent years. In the field of higher education, AI technology has been applied and analyzed through algorithms to develop the application of various technologies such as machine learning, biometric recognition, and virtual reality. It has triggered and caused fundamental changes in the content of education methods, management mode, education theory, teaching methods, and learning methods of higher education. In the era of artificial intelligence, higher education will show the development trend of diversification of teachers' roles, the intelligence of teaching mode, personalization of learning mode, diversification of teaching evaluation and openness of education ecology. This paper mainly discusses the current application of artificial intelligence in higher education, its influences on the higher education system, and the limitation AI has on this field. It is proposed that higher education has again reached a historical juncture where change is needed; then, the pedagogical implications of the impact of emerging technologies on the way students learn and the way higher education is changing are examined, including how AI can automate essential activities in higher education, how AI can change our traditional teaching elements, etc. It can be concluded that people should follow the trend and actively promote the modernization process of higher education. Artificial intelligence will have a significant impact on higher education, which must meet the challenges and prepare for the AI revolution while providing students with the necessary skills to be more competitive in the AI era.
