• Title: Exploring Generative AI Policies in Higher Education: A Comparative Perspective from China, Japan, Mongolia, and the USA
• Authors: Qin Xie, Ming Li, Ariunaa Enkhtur,
• Abstract summary: This study conducts a comparative analysis of national policies on Generative AI across four countries: China, Japan, Mongolia, and the USA. While all four countries exhibit a positive attitude toward Generative AI in higher education, Japan and the USA prioritize a human-centered approach. China and Mongolia prioritize national security concerns, with their guidelines focusing more on the societal level rather than being specifically tailored to education.

• Abstract: This study conducts a comparative analysis of national policies on Generative AI across four countries: China, Japan, Mongolia, and the USA. Employing the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) method, it examines the responses of these nations to Generative AI in higher education settings, scrutinizing the diversity in their approaches within this group. While all four countries exhibit a positive attitude toward Generative AI in higher education, Japan and the USA prioritize a human-centered approach and provide direct guidance in teaching and learning. In contrast, China and Mongolia prioritize national security concerns, with their guidelines focusing more on the societal level rather than being specifically tailored to education. Additionally, despite all four countries emphasizing diversity, equity, and inclusion, they consistently fail to clearly discuss or implement measures to address the digital divide. By offering a comprehensive comparative analysis of attitudes and policies regarding Generative AI in higher education across these countries, this study enriches existing literature and provides policymakers with a global perspective, ensuring that policies in this domain promote inclusion rather than exclusion.

  Recent advancements in AI have highlighted the importance of guiding AI systems towards the intended goals, ethical principles, and values of individuals and groups, a concept broadly recognized as alignment. The lack of clarified definitions and scopes of human-AI alignment poses a significant obstacle, hampering collaborative efforts across research domains to achieve this alignment. We introduce a systematic review of over 400 papers published between 2019 and January 2024, spanning multiple domains such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML)
