Concerns<\/strong>: Bret Danilowicz, president of Radford University, is concerned about the speed at which AI advancements will require faculty to update their courses, necessitating a shift in faculty workloads as traditional course renewal happens annually instead of every three to five years.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Improved Employability for Students<\/strong>: Danilowicz believes that equipping students with AI ethics and basic skills will make them more employable, helping those who struggle in college and enhancing postgraduate success.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Decision-Making Risks<\/strong>: Lisa Marsh Ryerson, president of Southern New Hampshire University, worries about potentially over-relying on AI for learning decisions and emphasizes the need for a strategy focused on improving all learner outcomes while maintaining a human-driven approach.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Upskilling Higher Education Workforce<\/strong>: Harrison Keller, president of the University of North Texas, is excited about AI\u2019s potential to personalize learning experiences but is also concerned about the institution\u2019s capacity to rapidly upskill and reskill its workforce to leverage AI effectively across teaching, operations, and research.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Cost-Effective Improvements<\/strong>: Pradeep Khosla, chancellor of the University of California, San Diego, sees AI as a cost-effective way to make significant improvements across the institution but stresses the importance of thoughtful deployment and the need to amplify human capacities without losing human oversight.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 higher
