Abstract
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an influential part of digital learning, offering learners instant support, more precise explanations, and practical guidance across academic tasks. This paper explores how generative AI is reshaping students’ learning habits, engagement levels, and access to knowledge in higher education. It also considers current educational directions such as NEP-2020, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), growing digital literacy, and UNESCO’s emphasis on ethical and inclusive AI practices. Alongside its benefits, the study acknowledges concerns related to overreliance, academic integrity, and occasional inaccuracies. Overall, the findings suggest that when used thoughtfully, generative AI can significantly strengthen the effectiveness, inclusivity, and reach of digital learning environments.
