ABSTRACT

Nowadays, generative artificial intelligence technology is closely related to many subdivisions in higher education, and its impact on higher education is increasingly apparent. This paper discusses the potential and risk of the application of generative artificial intelligence technology in higher education. In terms of application potential, it can be divided into five aspects: innovation of learning mode, effective promotion of knowledge production, extension of evaluation system dimension, wisdom innovation of teaching mode, and stimulation of educational concept transformation. In terms of application risk, it is mainly divided into five aspects: the doubt of knowledge legitimacy and authenticity, the risk of data security and privacy, the impact on students' discerning and creative thinking, the ban on users' imagination and innovation, and the ethical and moral risks associated with information output. The application of generative artificial intelligence technology in the field of education involves a multi-faceted and multi-level process. It is necessary to clarify the advantages and disadvantages of generative artificial intelligence technology in order to better play the potential of generative artificial intelligence application in the field of education and promote the digital transformation and upgrading of education.
