This book explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping higher education through practical, real-world strategies and grounded research. It begins with accessible introductions to key concepts such as generative AI, machine learning, and natural language processing before progressing to theoretical frameworks and empirical studies of how students, faculty, and institutions are responding to these technologies. Topics include ethics, AI literacy, digital equity, technology integration in teaching and learning, and student-led efforts like the AI Café. Drawing from participatory research, institutional case studies, and global AI policy analysis, the book provides actionable insights for faculty, instructional designers, academic leaders, and researchers. Emphasizing inclusive and culturally responsive approaches, this book is an essential resource for advancing faculty development, enhancing student engagement, and navigating the evolving role of AI in academic life.
