Abstract:

The development of AI teaching and learning tools has progressed, which has led to concerns about the impact on the education system. This paper focuses on the system of higher education in the context of AI deployment. AI development has outpaced the regulatory framework and opened the debate about far-reaching ethical, legal, and social challenges. While the universities have been engaged in designing curriculums to train the students for the AI working environment of tomorrow, there is a need to develop policies for the strategic inclusion of AI into the higher education system. This paper investigates the EU AI Act and how it regulated artificial intelligence in higher education. In the paper, the author analyses the system of higher education in Republic of Serbia with regard to EU regulations. The paper offers a view on what are the challenges when implementing rules for AI in the existing education regulation
