How are AI technologies changing Higher Education?

Each year, AI is penetrating deeper into the university environment, from automated student enrollment to virtual assistants in lectures. What does this mean for students and lecturers? How does AI change the very essence of learning? And why exactly are IT universities in Belarus becoming popular among those who want to keep up with technology? Let's find out.

Education has become smart - literally

Learning used to be the same for everyone: same pace, same assignments, same content. Now, thanks to AI, students can get a personalised approach. Systems can track their progress, identify which topics are difficult, and offer personalised guidance. This is especially relevant for international students who may face language or cultural barriers - AI helps them adapt faster and can also act as a voice assistant.

Today, students can get help not only from a teacher, but also from a virtual assistant who works 24/7. Asking a question on a topic, clarifying an assignment deadline, getting a cheat sheet - all this has become possible thanks to chatbots and systems based on GPT-like models.

BSUIR has already implemented AI elements in the educational process management system, and BSU is experimenting with neural network-based digital assistants.

Emphasising analytics: universities teach what the market demands

AI helps universities analyse the effectiveness of programmes, the level of student engagement, and the quality of teaching. The result is constant updating of training courses to meet real market requirements. The university no longer "issues a diploma", it prepares a specialist capable of solving problems here and now.

According to LinkedIn, AI and data analytics skills are among the top 5 most in-demand competencies for employers in 2024.
