Topics for: Higher Education 4.0 and the AI Revolution for Intercultural Competence Trainers and Educators

A critical discussion on the ethical challenges and risks of using AI in intercultural education. This includes addressing issues of algorithmic bias (where AI perpetuates cultural stereotypes), data privacy, and the risk of widening the digital and cultural divide among students and institutions.

Focus on how the AI revolution transforms the job of the intercultural competence educator. Debate the new skills and digital literacies required by trainers, shifting their role from a primary content provider to a facilitator, system designer, and ethical oversight manager for AI-enhanced learning.

Discuss the specific AI and Higher Education 4.0 technologies (e.g., virtual reality simulations, AI-powered chatbots, intelligent feedback systems) that can be used to provide students with immersive, authentic, and personalized intercultural communication training, especially overcoming limitations like lack of real-time practice.
