Generative AI and Its Implications for Higher Education Students' Creativity

Abstract

This chapter explores Generative AI (artificial intelligence) in higher education regarding students' creativity. By utilising the quantitative content analysis approach, the chapter explored the impact of generative AI in higher education to understand its transformative effects on students' creative thinking processes and its outcomes. Current literature reveals the latest thinking on how AI enables or disrupts students' creativity. Generative AI is a potent tool in higher education which generates original content like text, images, music, and videos based on input data or predefined models. The adoption of generative AI led to the need to understand how these advancements may shape the educational experience to develop essential skills like creativity. Since creativity is crucial in today's digital age, generative AI raises questions about its potential impact on the imagination. The aspect of creativity, which is fundamental in higher education, offers students opportunities to enhance critical-thinking, problem-solving, and innovation; however, a balance is necessary between the utilisation of AI tools and the human element of creativity.
