November 3, 2024 Galleria South

In the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education, AI has emerged as a transformative force, offering universities unprecedented advancements across university operations, academics, and student engagement. As stewards of academic excellence, chief academic officers bear a profound responsibility to harness this transformativepower ethically and effectively.

During this presentation we navigate the complexities of AI governance within the higher education landscape. We delve into the imperative of establishing robust frameworks to ensure the ethical deployment of AI, safeguarding privacy, and fostering trust among stakeholders. Drawing from real-world examples and best practices, we will address key questions such as: What are the ethical considerations surrounding AI deployment in higher education? How can universities balance innovation with privacy and data security concerns? What role does transparency and accountability play in fostering trust among stakeholders? How can AI governance frameworks be integrated into existing institutional structures? Participants will leave knowing steps to lead and manage AI ethically and effectively.
