Abstract

This study aims to optimize excellence in teaching, learning, and research among institutions of higher education via the revolution of generative AI. To promote generative AI literacy in higher education, this paper encourages institutions of higher education worldwide to establish specific generative AI guidelines for academic executives, faculty, librarians, and students in ever-changing academic learning environments. Based on their teaching practice at Georgia Southern University (https://www.georgiasouthern.edu/) and Georgia Southern University Libraries (https://www.georgiasouthern.edu/library), this paper suggests 25 primary generative AI tools for college students to boost their skills of critical thinking, decision-making, and problem solving in higher education. Also discussed are the relevant impacts of AI integrity, AI literacy, and generative AI literacy concerned by academic faculty, librarians, and students in the age of artificial intelligence.
