This multi-method, qualitative action research study explores the experiences of 22 university faculty in the United Arab…

Currently, generative AI has undergone rapid development. Numerous studies have attested to the benefits of Gen AI in programming, mathematics and other disciplines. However, since Gen AI mostly uses English as the intrinsic training parameter, it is more effective in facilitating the teaching of courses that use international common notation, but…

While societies struggle with the implications of text-based generative artificial intelligence (TGENAI), businesses are embracing the technology.
