ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR WORKING CAPITAL AND FUTURE WORKFORCE PREPAREDNESS

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education transforms teaching and learning processes, enhancing students’ and instructors’ soft skill development, motivation, and overall performance. This study explores the impact of AI on higher education, drawing on empirical research and analysis of AI’s role in university settings. The research reveals that AI is revolutionizing education through personalized learning experiences, administrative automation, and increased student engagement. However, challenges remain in aligning university curricula with industry demands, particularly in finance, accounting, economics, and business management. To address this, the study emphasizes the importance of integrating AI courses across disciplines, providing instructor training, and fostering industry collaborations to offer practical, real-world AI education. By doing so, higher education institutions can equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the evolving job market and technological advancements ethically and competently.
