Artificial intelligence feels like it appeared all at once, and adoption in higher ed is already surging ahead of understanding—bringing in both the good and the bad. Leaders need to take a more involved role in this process to ensure their college or university is adopting AI responsibly while avoiding all the risks.  In this 30-minute Ed Talk, an expert will share where AI fits today, and where it doesn’t, so you can make smarter, more confident decisions about its use campus-wide.

Key Takeaways 

  • What Works in AI (and What Doesn’t): Practical guidance on where AI delivers real value today for higher ed and where it falls short
  • Avoiding AI Adoption Risks: How to identify and avoid over-delegation, opaque data practices, and misplaced confidence in generalized outputs, especially in high-stakes environments
  • What AI Accelerates: How to use AI without losing the human judgment that drives real outcomes
  • Responsible Leadership Strategies: How to lead AI adoption responsibly, such as demanding transparency, protecting data ownership, verifying outputs, and maintaining human accountability

After this dynamic conversation, you’ll leave better equipped to use AI to strengthen, not replace, the conversations and decisions that matter most.
