Title: Generative AI at South African Higher Education: Make It Real for Change
and Equality
Introduction
Instead, it is very aggressively argued that generative AI, manifesting its
potential for continued development in diverse areas, would bring about
higher education amongst other spheres. For what this emergent technology
can synthetically create in the form of huge-scale paraphrases, in any form-text,
graphic, or code-it cannot but fail to revolutionize education. What is said is
that the application of generative AI for educational purposes on the other
hand stirs critical and severe ethical concerns. In this regard, it is important to
underscore a very fundamental fact-that the enormous potential therein for
improving learning items, evaluation of these, and personalized instructions
has a greater value than the risk involved, especially in South Africa. The essay
creates an argument, with moral control over generative AI and standards of
morality, there is dramatic acceleration in changes possible in South Africa,
with equity in education. Merits of Using Generative AI, Particularly in Higher
Education (Brown and Smith, 2023)
Some of the benefits generative AI has to offer a higher learning institution in
South Africa include:
For this reason, it is the revolution whereby learning material would definitely
be more exciting and interactive in adapting them to the individual learning
styles. The traditional type of material for learning does not retain the
gimbaled attention of students; hence, they do not get interested and learn
optimally. That's where the AI-powered Generative AI comes in; with it, an
interactive simulation on quiz and case study could be structured for each
student so that it would appeal to his or peculiar requirements and
predilection. This capability is important, especially in countries like South
Africa, among others. For instance, an AI-enabled platform could produce case
studies with that sort of peculiarity common in South African life: the making
of an exciting understanding of local issues and cultural relevance in education.
Another frontier in which AI is seen to benefit people is the improvement of
practical quality and equity in assessments. The usual test systems operate in
such a generic way that it does not show understanding from students of any
given concept or mechanism of learning.
It probably could ask deeper and more diverse questions: critical, problem-
solving, or creative-based. Thus, this system not only reduces opportunities for
students to cheat but also estimates the potential of students. Apart from the
