Overview

Scoping review highlights applications and risks of generative artificial intelligence in higher education, suggesting complementarity with human judgment.

Key Points

  • Generative artificial intelligence improves academic writing by enhancing organization and fluency but poses risks like unreliable citations and overreliance.
  • The scoping review analyzed 25 empirical studies on generative artificial intelligence's impact in higher education settings until mid-2025.
  • Findings indicate that clearer policies and better access improve the effective use of generative artificial intelligence in writing contexts.
  • The review emphasizes the importance of generative artificial intelligence as assistive tools rather than substitutes, particularly for multilingual writers.
