The impact and Importance of AI in Higher Education

This panel will discuss the continuing and emerging challenges facing educators with the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education. The use of AI will change how our students learn and what the workforce expects our students to have learned. Students will need to adapt to new technologies, new methods, and new expectations in the workplace. Staying at the forefront of AI integration is essential for higher education institutions to remain competitive and relevant. This session will focus on summarizing the opportunities and strategies for including AI in the curriculum. Academic leaders will share examples of AI programs, academic usage, research applications, and educational concerns from their home institutions. We will share lessons learned and best practices—and offer participants the opportunity to share their own experiences with using generative AI both inside and outside the classroom.
