Artificial intelligence is reshaping higher education faster than our governance structures, security controls, and privacy frameworks can keep up with. But the risks go deeper than data breaches and vendor contracts. When institutions deploy AI systems across teaching, research, and administration, they are making consequential decisions about how people learn, how they think, and who controls the infrastructure of campus life.
Cybersecurity and privacy professionals are uniquely positioned to lead this conversation—not as gatekeepers, but as trusted partners in building the transparency and accountability structures that responsible AI adoption demands. This keynote presentation will explore what higher education institutions must get right now, before regulators and threat actors catch up, and how the decisions made today about AI use will define the relationship between institutions and their communities for years to come.
