Description:
There’s plenty of hype around the potential for artificial intelligence to transform higher ed: reducing summer melt, decreasing enrollment friction, and helping students navigate their way to and through college. But how does AI actually work? And how can new AI research, and a better understanding of the technology, enable us to serve students better? Join technologists, researchers, and analysts to unpack the complexities of AI and discuss risks, opportunities, and predictions for the future.
