The Symbiotic Mind: Integrating Generative AI to Reshape University Pedagogy and Cognitive Development
Abstract
This paper examines the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into higher education, analyzing its potential to foster cognitive development and reshape pedagogical paradigms. It argues that GenAI acts as both a catalyst for constructivist learning and a disruptor of traditional cognitive hierarchies like Bloom's Taxonomy. The paper analyzes the strategic imperative for business faculties, proposes AI-resilient assessment models, and develops an ethical framework for institutional adoption. The central thesis is that the strategic integration of GenAI is a pedagogical necessity to cultivate a new form of "co-intelligence"—a symbiotic partnership between human and artificial cognition that prepares graduates for the future of work.
