Description
Summary:Since the Artificial intelligence (AI) revolution catalyzed by ChatGPT, the discourse of students' digital competence has become prevalent in German higher education institutions (HEIs). While educators recognize the potential for using AI in higher education, concerns persist about students needing more necessary skills. This paper presents findings from a comprehensive lecturer survey that provides insights into educators' perspectives on the opportunities and challenges associated with AI integration in HEIs. Furthermore, it addresses the conditions required for successful AI implementation in German HEIs to promote, rather than hinder, students' digital competence and future skills.
