The AI Revolution: Transforming Higher Education for the Workforce of Tomorrow

September 1, 2023

AAC&U and the CTL invite you to a webinar watch party: The AI Revolution: Transforming Higher Education for the Workforce of Tomorrow. 

“While much of the discussion surrounding higher education and artificial intelligence (AI) has focused on scaling up AI research and adapting teaching methods in the face of tools such as ChatGPT, another side to AI’s impact on higher education is also compelling action. AI and machine learning are reshaping the world of work. It is predicted that over the next five years, new career paths will emerge, many existing paths will be reshaped, and some will end because of AI adoption and innovation. Higher education has entered a pivotal moment of challenge and opportunity to respond to this rapidly changing employability landscape.

The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is upon us. How can institutions of higher education adapt to meet the emerging needs of the workplace as AI becomes more commonly used? During this webinar, a panel of experts will examine the near-term effects of this rapidly developing technology on both the workforce and higher education.”

Panelists Earl Buford, President, Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL); Brian Haugabrook, Specialist Leader, Deloitte; William J. McKinney, Senior Fellow, AAC&U; Krystal Rawls, Workforce Integration Network Director, CSU Dominguez Hills; and Moderator: C. Edward Watson, AVP for Curricular and Pedagogical Innovation, Executive Director for Open Educational Resources and Digital Innovation, AAC&U, will lead the conversation.
