Abstract

The rapid evolution of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the landscape of higher education globally, and Malaysia is poised to be at the forefront of this revolution. Generative AI, a subset of AI capable of understanding and producing human-like text, images, and code, offers unprecedented potential to reshape teaching, learning, and research in higher education institutions (HEIs). This paper explores the transformative power of generative AI within the Malaysian HEI context, focusing on its practical applications and implications for personalized learning, digital inclusion, and the evolving roles of educators. Specifically, it investigates how generative AI tools can be leveraged to enhance personalized learning experiences, foster digital inclusion, and empower educators. Through a systematic literature review, the practical applications of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude, in fostering personalized learning and inclusive educational experiences were examined, along with their impact on the roles of educators. The impact of these tools on the roles of educators is also investigated. Our findings highlight both the potential benefits and challenges of AI integration in higher education, including ethical considerations and the risk of perpetuating existing biases. Through a systematic literature review, this paper identifies both the promises and challenges of integrating generative AI in higher education. Generative AI tools hold immense potential to transform Malaysian higher education by personalizing learning experiences, fostering inclusivity, enhancing teaching effectiveness by providing tailored feedback and support, promoting creativity through collaborative projects and content creation, and expanding access to education for diverse learners. However, challenges like ethical concerns, bias, plagiarism, and over-reliance on technology necessitate proactive measures. By addressing these challenges, Malaysia can harness generative AI to equip students for the future and enhance higher education quality.
