In higher education, knowledge management (KM) is important for encouraging innovation, helping students learn better, and making university management more effective. However, traditional ways of handling knowledge face problems like too much information, poor systems for finding content, and not enough personalized learning experiences. Using artificial intelligence (AI) can help by automating data handling, making information easier to retrieve and more accurate and offering customized learning paths. This paper looks at how AI can be used in KM within higher education, focusing on its ability to improve the creation, sharing, organization, and decision-making processes of knowledge. It also examines issues like the AI infrastructure needed for KM, compares different approaches, discusses strategies for development, and addresses the challenges and ethical questions that come with using AI in educational settings.
