Transformative Impacts of Artificial Intelligence on Higher Education: Crafting an Educational Model for Media in the AI Era

Abstract

As we observed from a comprehensive literature review, artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing how media creation tools are perceived and used in creative industries and higher education. Consequently, keeping track of these changes is often challenging even for specialists. In this paper, we investigate how educators in higher education institutions integrate personal development related to the advancement in AI for the media into their working schedules. A mixed methodology was used to survey faculty across higher education institutions from several countries in Europe, North America and the Middle East, with the aim to profile a functional educational model for media in the era of AI. The results open a discussion in the academic community of applied media, design studies, and other related fields, with repercussions in education and practice.
