#genAI4genZ – New Challenges in Higher Education

The research group genAI4genZ addresses a pressing societal challenge arising from the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) in the context of higher education. The group investigates Generation Z’s attitudes toward the use of genAI tools, their integration into teaching and learning processes, and the broader implications for higher education institutions. Attention is also given to the factors influencing genAI adoption, the safeguarding of academic integrity and ethical standards, and the development of student and faculty competencies for effective and sustainable use of these technologies.
