Abstract

The concept of smart university and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gaining enormous attention, specifically during the covid19 impact phase, where the education institutions are searching digital platforms and Internet of Things (IoT) for academic continuities. The application AI is changing the operating models of several academic institutions, extending numerous possibilities for learning and development. Though AI provide several opportunities to academic institutions, it has it disadvantages also. Exploring the structure, system, process, strategy, infrastructure, and skills towards a smart university, this chapter has explored the concepts, tools, opportunities, advantages, and disadvantages of AI, with qualitative content analysis and narratives. The output of the chapter facilitates expansion of body of knowledge integrating contents of smart university, smart infrastructure, smart pedagogue, smart classrooms, smart teachers, smart learners, artificial intelligence, online education, artificial intelligence applications, role of AI in education, and AI applications for education, facilitating theoretical implications. Modern universities with integrated AI applications provide new vistas to students learning experience, teacher’s instructional improvement and facilitating effortless academic administration.
