Artificial Intelligence and digital transformation from university faculties: challenges, approach, and goals

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation are undoubtedly two significant topics that impact individuals' professional and occupational spheres and, consequently, the academic field as well. From their academic formation, it is essential for professionals to explore, manage, and master, to the highest possible level, the technological tools that facilitate the performance of their roles. Artificial intelligence, in addition to being one of the most advanced technological developments, is the prevailing technological trend being integrated into organizational, academic, and even personal activities. Digital transformation, on the other hand, is a continuous process that organizations face regardless of the sector in which they operate, and it is both enhanced and shaped by technological advancements. University faculties face considerable challenges in this context: to train well-rounded professionals in their specific technical fields and, simultaneously, to provide digital and technological literacy that enables them to enter the job market and to significantly contribute to the transformation of their respective areas through the implementation of technologies and systems.
