Wednesday, September 30, 2026 | 4:30PM–5:30PM MT
Session Type: Poster Session
Delivery Format: Poster Session
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how colleges and universities approach student services, analytics, operations, cybersecurity, and compliance. But as adoption accelerates, many institutions are still working to define how these systems should be governed. In this panel, three university information technology leaders will discuss how their institutions are approaching artificial intelligence governance in ways that support innovation while protecting trust, privacy, and accountability. Panelists will share lessons on policy development, data stewardship, risk management, and cross-campus collaboration, along with how established frameworks and emerging guidance can inform institutional decision-making. Attendees will leave with practical ideas for building governance models that are realistic, scalable, and relevant to higher education.
