Abstract

This chapter critically examines the dynamic interplay between Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) and the enhancement of student employability within the context of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the United Kingdom (UK). Examining the transformative horizons introduced by Gen AI, the chapter explores its impact on the evolving landscape of skills development, career readiness, and the broader implications for students navigating the contemporary job market. It investigates the integration of Gen AI in educational frameworks, highlighting its role in fostering adaptive learning environments and preparing students for the demands of a technologically advanced workforce. Examining case studies and emerging best practices, the chapter unravels the ways in which Gen AI contributes to shaping the employability landscape in UK HEIs. Furthermore, the chapter offers valuable insights into the challenges and ethical considerations associated with the integration of Gen AI in higher education. It critically assesses the potential benefits and risks, providing a nuanced perspective on the ethical dimensions inherent in leveraging advanced technologies for educational purposes.
