Beyond the Hype: How AI Is (Actually) Changing Higher Ed
Oct 2, 1pm CT: Register for the free webinar
Artificial intelligence is evolving fast, but the impact it’s having on higher education is deeper than most headlines suggest. From improving learning experiences to optimizing operations and navigating ethical concerns, this session will offer a grounded, thoughtful discussion aimed at helping leaders understand what’s possible—and what to watch out for.
Whether you’re a technologist, educator or administrator, you’ll walk away with clear insights and practical considerations for adopting AI on campus. Join us for an open, honest conversation that separates substance from speculation.
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Describe key use cases for AI in higher education today
- Identify practical opportunities for implementing AI across academic and administrative functions
- Understand the ethical concerns and risks of AI adoption
- Gain a realistic perspective on the limitations of current AI tools
- Explore strategies for driving faculty and institutional buy-in
