Abstract

This research discusses the challenges and potential use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in language teaching at Humboldt University Berlin and Leipzig University. The university recognizes the latest technological developments, such as rule-based machine translation, statistics, and neural networks. It faces challenges testing students’ translation ability without using the latest technology. Despite this, translation errors still exist on platforms such as Google Translate and Deepl, suggesting that artificial intelligence still cannot keep pace with human intelligence. The use of AI in teaching and examinations at German universities is being legally regulated, focusing on developing a foundation for acceptable applicability and limits on using AI technology, especially about ethical issues. A survey at Humboldt University shows that most students have never used AI for exams, while the use of AI in language teaching at Leipzig University has grown. However, there is still an intensive debate on AI and teaching and learning. Some students also experience a decline in the quality of learning due to dependence on technology. This research provides essential insights on using AI technology in university language education. It emphasizes the need for precise legal regulation and attention to its impact on teaching-learning and learning quality.
