Short Abstract

This panel brings together experts from higher education research, support, leadership, and faculty to discuss how generative AI is impacting higher education. We’ll discuss changes to come for faculty, students, and the institution.

Extended Abstract

The rapid growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is forcing society and our educational institutions to investigate how to integrate AI ethically, efficiently, and effectively into both university instruction and operations. Since the COVID pandemic, colleges and universities have integrated various online technologies in support of instruction, research, academic services, and administrative efficiency. Similar conversations are occurring on campuses now to determine how generative AI will impact faculty, researchers, and staff. Today’s generative AI is the starting point of this evolution, and more advanced forms of AI will emerge in the coming years. This panel will discuss critical questions related to the emergence of AI in higher education. Some possible questions include: What does the research say about the way generative AI is being used by universities, faculty, and students? What impact will AI have on our teaching methods? How will it affect our research practices? How will it transform our advising, counseling, and support services? Will administrative processes become more efficient with AI and what might be the impact of those efficiencies? How do we guide junior faculty who envision themselves in academic careers for decades?
