Higher Education’s AI Imperative: Why Universities Must Lead
Preview:
Artificial intelligence is transforming how we live, work, and learn. As generative AI tools become increasingly embedded in industries and daily life, the question facing higher education isn’t whether we’ll be affected—but how we’ll respond.
I recently joined a Future U. podcast conversation hosted at Google’s Manhattan headquarters to explore this very topic. Alongside Ann Kirschner, PhD, of CUNY and Arizona State University, and Chris Hein, Field CTO at Google Public Sector, we talked with Michael Horn and Jeff Selingo about the future of learning, the evolving job market, and what it will take to prepare students for a world where AI is the norm, not the exception.
