Artificial Intelligence and the Value Co-Creation Process in Higher Education Institutions

The transformative capacity of artificial intelligence (AI) in different sectors is rapidly progressing. One of the sectors in which there has been an increase in these developments is the education sector, particularly higher education (HE). Although some studies have begun to consider the advances in AI to incorporate solutions at various stages of the university educational process, the role of students as possible co-creators of these developments has not yet been considered. From a perspective of value co-creation and service-dominant logic (SDL), this study seeks to identify the typologies of value perceived by university students with respect to different AI solutions applied to the learning process in the framework of a value network composed of themselves and other actors in the network. Using a qualitative, phenomenological research approach, four workshop sessions were developed with a total sample of 93 students from three Colombian universities. The results indicate that students mostly respond in agreement with the co-creation of value based on the concepts of AI functions in the future scenario of HE. These AI functions include the machine teacher and the Smart Tutoring App. The chatbot is among the functions associated with value co-destruction, which is one of the most widespread developments in the area of user experiences in business. Finally, we discuss these findings and offer implications for guiding public policy and strategic decisions by university boards in this highly relevant area.

The article is devoted to the problem of monitoring vitamins in the nutrition of student youth in modern conditions. With the help of a questionnaire and a method for determining the content of water- and fat-soluble vitamins in the daily diet, non-compliance with the principles of rational nutrition by full-time students was revealed, which negatively affects their health. For all full-time students, there is a deficiency in the intake of vitamins D 70%, C 62.5%, B9 60% and biotin 74%. The average content of vitamin C in diets for girls is 1.03 times lower than the norm, for boys it is 1.27 times lower than the norm. The intake of vitamins B2, B6, B12 and B5 with diets exceeds the recommended values. The study of the quality of diets of junior students showed that the majority of students have a polydeficient diet, unbalanced in terms of water- and fat-soluble vitamins, as well as a lack of a conscious attitude to nutrition. A low level of skills and abilities of students in organizing their own meals was revealed. An insufficient level of knowledge about proper nutrition is a potential factor in the deterioration of health, the emergence of primary and secondary alimentary diseases, and a decrease in mental performance. The ways of increasing the level of knowledge in practical nutrition of students of higher education and ways of solving the problem of balanced nutrition of students as an effective condition for improving their health as an effective condition for improving their health are proposed.
