Her passion for exploring how technologies intersect with education and society has led her to focus on the big wave currently sweeping the world: the impact of Generative AI in higher education. Title: ChatGPT and GenAI: Empowering and Constraining Impact on Higher Education Abstract: With the public release of ChatGPT in November 2022, the initial response among the academic community has ranged from euphoria to hysteria. Some educators and media journalists proclaim it as a revolutionary invention akin to the creation of the computer. Others perceive it as a threat to their academic practices and jobs. Subsequent release of other Generative AI tools such as Perplexity, Microsoft Pilot, Bing and Chatpdf have reinforced the claim that GenAI is transforming the educational sector. This talk explores how university teachers and students have used ChatGPT and GenAI in higher education and discusses its empowering and constraining impact. The cultural and social implications of such technologies will be also examined. |
