Generative AI-Enabled MIS for E-Learning

ABSTRACT : With the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) progressing towards achieving its Vision 2030, the higher education sector has been of central interest in developing a diversified and knowledge- based economy. This national change is accompanied by an international movement of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), a technology that can transform the management and the pedagogy of education. This study discusses the strategic implementation of GenAI-powered Management Information Systems (MIS) into the KSA e-learning environment. The study summarises existing literature on the Saudi educational policy, GenAI applications, and MIS development through a systematic literature review. The results suggest that GenAI provides significant possibilities for developing individual learning routes, enhancing student advisory, and simplifying administration. Nonetheless, the potential to realise it is conditional upon overcoming important challenges, such as digital infrastructure gaps, the necessity to increase the level of digital literacy, and important ethical issues regarding academic integrity and the privacy of data. The study also offers recommendations that policymakers and university leaders should follow to negotiate this technological change and use GenAI to meet the Vision 2030 objectives.
