Generative artificial intelligence in higher education: a literature mapping perspective

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) opens intriguing possibilities for creating unique and innovative content. This systematic literature review (SLR) analysed the published evidence on GAI in higher education institutions from January 2018 to October 2023. Fourteen articles on the topic were identified in the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus databases. We screened to obtain the most relevant data by applying inclusion, exclusion, and quality criteria. The results identified (1) the characteristics of the publications, (2) methodological trends, and (3) the approaches implemented. The study aims to be of value to the academic community and developers of GAI initiatives
