Educating for Tomorrow: The Synergy of Generative AI and Sustainable Higher Learning

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is increasingly integrated into higher education, offering transformative possibilities that promote sustainability. This study explores how GAI tools, such as ChatGPT, contribute to sustainable higher education by enhancing educational practices, optimizing resource utilization, supporting inclusive and accessible education, and fostering environmental awareness. The integration of GAI enables personalized learning, automated assessments, and professional development for educators. Additionally, it optimizes resource use, promotes digital learning materials, and improves energy efficiency. This research highlights the need for policy reform and empirical studies to maximize GAI’s potential while addressing ethical concerns.
