Artificial intelligence is no longer an emerging technology in higher education—it's becoming an institutional priority. As colleges and universities move beyond isolated pilots, leaders are making strategic decisions about governance, infrastructure, data readiness, workforce enablement, and where AI can deliver the greatest impact for students, faculty, researchers, and campus operations.
This interactive panel brings together higher education executives, industry leaders, and technology experts to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and decisions shaping the next phase of AI adoption across higher education. Guided by insights from Dell Technologies' AI Pulse Report, the conversation will explore emerging trends from colleges and universities across the country and examine how institutions are balancing innovation with responsible implementation.
Panelists will share practical experiences, lessons learned, and recommendations for developing an institution-wide AI strategy, including how to establish governance, prioritize investments, prepare data and infrastructure, measure outcomes, and build campus trust. Attendees will leave with actionable insights and strategic questions they can apply within their own institutions as they navigate the evolving AI landscape.
