Abstract
In the rapidly changing landscape of higher education, the integration of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools presents a transformative opportunity to boost
students' analytical and critical thinking skills. This article elucidates the various AI
applications utilized in universities, their impact on learning outcomes, and the
pedagogical strategies that can be deployed to maximize their effectiveness. By
examining case studies, theoretical frameworks, and empirical research, this article
aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how AI tools can support the
development of essential skills necessary for success in an increasingly complex world.
