Abstract

This paper investigates the role of Generative AI (GenAI) tools in higher education at TTK University of Applied Sciences (TTK UAS), Estonia, the largest applied sciences university in Estonia providing higher education in engineering. Through a survey of 81 faculty members, it examines the use of GenAI in teaching, research, and administrative tasks, highlighting patterns of usage, perceived benefits, challenges, and training needs. The findings reveal that while GenAI is seen as a valuable asset in personalized learning and efficient task management, concerns about reliability, ethical implications, and workload dynamics persist. The study emphasizes the importance of targeted training to address these challenges and support the effective integration of GenAI tools in higher education.
