CARDET, University of Nicosia The INFINITE project aspires to provide faculty members in Higher Education with the necessary skills to use AI-based technology in their professional and pedagogical activities ethically and critically. Three main research issues are addressed by the study, which was carried out in Cyprus. Initially, it emphasizes the wide range of applications of AI-based tools in Higher Education (HE), including the improvement of teaching quality, the simplification of administrative duties, and the facilitation of personalized learning experiences. Second, it draws attention to the serious dangers that AI in higher education entails, including moral questions about equality, privacy, and prejudice. Third, the research demonstrates the beneficial effects of AI on the teaching and learning processes of both university instructors and students, demonstrating enhancements in administrative efficiency and instructional support. The significance of a comprehensive approach to AI integration in HE is underscored by the study, which stresses the necessity of targeted training, ethical guidelines, and a robust infrastructure to optimize benefits, while minimizing risks.
