What Happens When Everyone Can Design? The AI and Governance Questions CIOs Can't Ignore

AI-assisted design tools have quietly become one of the most widely adopted technologies on campus, often without IT ever signing off. Faculty are building course materials. Admissions offices are running campaigns. Student affairs teams are producing content overnight.

What happens to data privacy when 400 people across campus are generating AI content?

This discussion session surfaces real, not idealized, questions and is designed for honest peer exchange: what you're seeing, what you're worried about, and what's actually working.
