We’re excited to present our latest resource, The Definitive Guide to AI in Higher Education, and we’re kicking things off with a sneak peek into Part 1, The Era of AI: Now and Tomorrow.

Within this first section, we'll take a deep dive into the diverse range of AI types that are influencing not only higher education but also the broader global landscape.

Here's a look at what you’ll find in Part 1 of the guide:

Artificial Intelligence Defined

Before we explore how AI is poised to solve challenges in higher education, it's crucial to grasp the fundamentals. Our guide starts off by setting the scene for AI with four must-know categories:

• Predictive AI: This type of AI utilizes historical data to make predictions about future events. Examples include personalized recommendations on platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime.
  
• Generative AI: Generative AI is known for creating new content or data based on the information it has been trained on. OpenAI's ChatGPT-3 is a prime example of generative AI.
  
• Computer Vision: Computer vision enables machines to interpret and understand the world through visual data. It's used in self-driving cars like Tesla's and in agriculture to distinguish between crops and weeds.
  
• Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): AGI is a hypothetical type of AI that would possess human-like understanding and reasoning abilities. 

Part 1 is your foundation for understanding the diverse AI landscape and its potential applications in the higher education sector.
