Abstract

The use of AI tools in educational contexts, and particularly in higher education, has been associated with both positive and negative effects. While AI tools can help students with their writing, they can also lead to the loss of creativity and moral issues. To balance the effects of AI tools, this paper presents two solutions. One, universities should adjust their assessment methods to focus on developing students' creativity and critical thinking. Next, the universities should offer AI literacy programs to teach students how to use AI tools properly. By balancing the strengths and weaknesses of AI tools, the humanities can maintain their value in the face of evolving technology.
