أثر الذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي على التعليم العالي في المؤسسات السودانية

Abstract

The study analyzed the effects of generative artificial intelligence models on higher education in general, and on Sudanese universities in particular, by surveying students and professors from a wide range of educational institutions. The study focused on measuring the actual usage of these new AI tools whilst also capturing the challenges associated with their adoption. The results show that there is noticeable demand and enthusiasm for using generative AI tools, accompanied by a general awareness of the rules and policies governing them. However, the level of usage at the time of the study was still limited. Opinions varied between those who view these technologies as tools capable of enhancing the educational process and those who believe they may negatively affect academic integrity and the critical thinking abilities of their users. Based on these findings, the study proposes a strategic framework for the responsible adoption and use of these technologies—one that includes the development of generative AI usage policies, the necessary supporting infrastructure, and training programs for both academics and students. This is intended to ensure an optimal user experience without compromising the integrity and quality of the educational process.
