Abstract

Artificial intelligence (Al), a system that thinks and acts rationally, is increasingly popular these years. As the Horizon Report from EDUCAUSE, the trend of Al is potentially growing into mainstream. However, there is a research gap for Al application in higher education, which is there is not a lot of research on Al application in higher education, and more studies are supposed to be conducted. Therefore, this research will focus on the application of Al in higher education though literature analysis, and explore the impact and application of Al in teaching and learning in higher education. To have an intuitive result, a bibliometric method will be utilized. Through the software "Citespace", the analysis of more than 400 articles in Web of Science near 5 years results in a visualization summary, and it shows that "learning analytics'; "virtual reality", "predictive models" are the three main parts in Al application of higher education to succeed in "sustainable development goals" (SDGs), created by the UN General Assembly, proposed a set of global Sustainable Development Goals. There will be an aggregating system to coordinate with all parts by multidimensional collaboration, which is divided by "teaching': "feedback", "personalization" and "management',' leading to a virtuous cycle for "Quality Education': one of SDGs, including effectiveness, efficiency, equity, responsiveness, relevance, reflexivity, sustainability, and teachers, students, as well as managers in higher education will be benefited. Besides, in this collaboration system, the higher education will be improved by artificial intelligence to support quality education in sustainable development goals, which will explore Al application in higher education better in the future as an implication of this research. At the end, a summary of this research will be presented, and have some implications for future development of Al in higher education, especially for success in SDGs.

OtherThe impact of ChatGPT is being felt across higher education globally, but it represents just one of the emerging research directions in this field. The landscape of higher education has been evolving constantly, with practitioners encountering a diverse range of challenges and opportunities. In order to establish a sustainable higher education environment that can keep pace with society's advancements, it is crucial to facilitate collaboration between universities and institutional leaders to exchange best practices, develop innovative curricula and pedagogy that accommodate changes in technology, ensure that access to learning is equitable and society's advancements does not exacerbate educational disparities, and address the emotional and social needs of students in response to the evolving landscape of higher education.
