Abstract: This special issue focuses on the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI (GenAI), on higher education. It explores distinctions among AI types—general AI, agentic AI, and GenAI—and examines how these technologies are reshaping teaching, learning, and administrative practices. Contributions include empirical studies on faculty and student perceptions of GenAI, longitudinal analyses of teacher education students’ evolving AI use, conceptual frameworks for AI-supported doctoral education, and practical approaches to curriculum design and enrollment management. The issue also highlights initiatives to prepare educators for AI integration and discusses AI’s potential to enhance student metacognition and self-regulated learning, emphasizing the need for strategic adaptation rather than restriction of AI in educational contexts.
