ENHANCING INTERNATIONALIZATION MANAGEMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The current paper proposes a conceptual framework and discusses the role that artificial intelligence can play in internationalizing higher education with an emphasis on the necessity of further empirical research. Internationalization of higher education incorporates the global, comparative, and cross-cultural dimensions of teaching, research, and service. In this, there lies the potential for technological change driven by radical Artificial intelligence (AI) to change the process through facilitation of international collaborations, promotion of student mobility, and support for cross-cultural learning. The study offers conceptual insight into ways AI can contribute to Internationalization through online learning and virtual exchange and lays ground for policymakers, educators, and administrators. It highlights once again the necessity for balanced and inclusive approaches. The paper concludes with the mention of gaps in the available literature, calling for empirical studies that could strengthen its conceptual framework.
