This research paper meticulously examines the profound and dynamic impact of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) on the University Education System, with a specific focus on the integration of A.I. within course syllabuses spanning disciplines such as chemistry, medicine, pharmacy (being the chief working areas of authors SA and ME), and various professional branches. The research delves into the transformative nature of A.I. in education, emphasizing the imperative need for its adaptation to enhance the learning experience and better equip students for the ever-evolving demands of their chosen professions. Through a meticulous analysis, this paper explores the multifaceted aspects of incorporating A.I. into university courses (MIT and Harvard are among the best universities in terms of Organic Chemistry courses), addressing challenges, seizing opportunities, and outlining essential considerations for a successful implementation strategy and yielding the result of A.I. need in the course content and syllabus preparation and guidance since the span of knowledge of A.I. compared to a university professor will be much more.
