Abstract

This chapter analyzes the impact of national Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategies and policies on higher education institutions. The comparative analysis includes an exhaustive review of the AI regulatory framework of top leading economies, including the U.S., China, Japan, Germany, the U.K., France, South Korea, the U.A.E., Canada, Israel, Netherlands, and Sweden. The chapter also provides an extensive but summarized literature review of the most relevant AI applications in a long list of professional fields and academic majors. Finally, the chapter discusses the implications of the extensive adoption of AI and the need for higher education institutions to adapt to the most compelling challenge of the Fourth Industrial Revolution: AI. The chapter also provides ample evidence of the urgent need for higher education institutions to include AI curriculum content as a critical factor for their long-term survival. The instruction of AI content in almost all academic majors will prepare future alumnae with the abilities and talent they will need to succeed in the job market.
