Advancement in Information Technologies (IT) and Artificial intelligence (AI) has changed the way we work, the way we learn, and the ways we live. AI will change the whole scenario of higher education of teaching and learning. The study is about to explore the opportunities provided by AI which help in educational activities related to teaching and learning. The challenges which may be faced by higher education institutions to adopt these technologies for teaching, learning, student support, and administration will also be explored for further investigation. On the other hand, although ethical consideration and its following is essential for every filed of society, it becomes more crucial for higher education producing professionals through AI based platform. Recent literature has also shown ethical concerns of IT and AI supporting environment. It will also highlighted and the issues and ultimately to a consensus within the research community regarding what is necessary and what is not in the use of AI in education.

Dr. Fahad Ahmad

Quantum computing is a sub-discipline of ‘Quantum Information Science’. It has two major applications quantum communication and quantum cryptography. It is a type of computing based upon quantum mechanics to perform operations on data. It possesses various properties like entanglement, superposition, interference and decoherence. It has revolutionized the way of computing by performing operations at the atomic/subatomic level with an exponential increase of parallel processing. Nowadays, quantum computing is extensively utilizing in authentication purpose. As the advances in processing power and computation capabilities are starting to saturate, with significant ramifications. Forty years prior after the invention of the silicon chip, Gordon E. Moore, the prime supporter of Intel, made an intense and original perception: "the intensity of PCs and their hardware multiplies every 18th month, and would proceed to twofold". This expectation depended on quickly propelling upgrades in transistors.
