During the final day of the American Association of University Administrators conference in Oct., Dr. Vistasp Karbhari, a Professor and former President at The University of Texas at Arlington, shared his thoughts on AI and the Future of Higher Education: Enabler or Destroyer? While the focus of his talk was AI, Dr. Karbhari addressed whether we, in higher ed, are willing to make the changes that will pave the way for a future where technology empowers graduates to thrive in a rapidly converging world or if we will allow ourselves to lose relevance and leadership. AAUA Board Member Colin M. Coyne introduces Dr. Karbhari. #aaua2024 #AI #highereducation https://lnkd.in/gafh9EjK Joe Sallustio, EdD Dr. Senthil Nathan
