Why higher education needs to embrace AI
"For all the talk of how artificial intelligence will revolutionize the way we live and work, there are few industries where generative AI has already had a profound impact. Across the education space, however, from K-12 schools to universities, AI has been widely adopted by students and teachers alike. Educators are using AI to create lesson plans and save time on administrative work and even grading. And students now regularly use AI chatbots in the classroom and for help with assignments- to varying results."
""It [has] got to almost be real-time and predictive," Ipsen said during the panel. "What are the skills that . . . are going to match the global market of today? Because it's evolving very quickly. We've got to leverage the power of AI to build those solutions and capabilities across all of education technology to enable that. These are the types of things that are going to put a great spotlight on higher education-that they are transformational [and] moving with speed.""
Generative AI has been widely adopted across education from K-12 to universities, with educators using AI to create lesson plans, reduce administrative work, and assist with grading. Students frequently use AI chatbots for classroom support and assignment help, producing mixed results. Rapid adoption raises concerns about academic integrity and responsible use. Colleges and universities face pressure to equip students with AI skills needed in a transforming workforce. AI-powered solutions like Ellucian Journey enable continuous learning by mapping skills to career paths and workforce gaps and aim to provide real-time, predictive alignment with global market needs.
