In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, innovation, and sustainability, integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education presents significant opportunities to enhance learning, teaching and assessment, streamline administrative processes, and promote sustainable educational practices. Despite a vast amount of literature on AI in education, comprehensive use cases that can inform effective implementation of AI in higher education remain scarce. This chapter aims to fill this gap by exploring in-depth the AI applications in higher education, addressing key areas of AI integration such as curriculum design and content development, pedagogical strategies and learning environments, evaluation mechanisms and feedback systems, process streamlining and efficiency enhancement, learning analytics, academic research and ideation, and student support and services. As such, this chapter contributes to the broader goal of sustainable development in the context of education thus aligning with the themes of the SMART conference. This research may inform sustainable solutions, policy, and governance mechanisms in the context of AI-driven education.
