Abstract

Recent developments in the field of technology are transforming the higher education landscape of India in a massive way. The traditional models of teaching and learning are getting replaced by AI driven modalities and pedagogy which fosters innovation, entrepreneurship and employability. However, serious concerns are also being raised highlighting the diminishing critical thinking and decision making skill along with declining engagement and language skills among the learners. The present paper ascertaining reflective literature review proposes policy considerations for AI integration into the higher educational framework of India. The research focuses on exploring the current status of integration of artificial intelligence with higher education in India and propose suitable policy framework for making artificial Intelligence being integrated into teaching learning functions of Indian higher education to ensure inclusivity, diversity and equity. Finally, the paper highlights the roadmap towards the achievement of the SDGs along with the vision of becoming a developed nation or ‘Viksit Bharat’ by incorporating inclusivity, diversity and equity in Indian higher education framework through artificial intelligence.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence, higher education, innovation, inclusivity, diversity, equity.
