The rate of technological innovation accelerated precipitously with the launch of ChatGPT. It was the shot heard 'round the world. The reaction by higher education was nearly immediate, with institutional angst splashed across trade publications and student adoption spreading like wildfire. As our society grapples with the legal, cultural, and economic implications of generative AI, the technology and consumer market continue to storm ahead. In powerful ways, choices made today will influence not just the role of technology in our society but also the shape of our society. In this session, experts from Oracle's product development and higher education industry teams will share an insider’s view on likely applications for these new disruptive technologies across teaching, learning, and research, as well as the proactive guardrails that institutions might employ to ensure the human element of higher education flourishes in the next technology era.
