Webinar | AI in Higher Ed: Insights from 94,000+ Voices

Drawing on the largest artificial intelligence survey conducted in higher education, this webinar shares insights from more than 94,000 students, faculty, and staff across a 22-university system and previews early findings from a 2026 replication. Led by San Diego State University and the California State University system, this longitudinal effort reveals how AI adoption, trust, training needs, and workforce expectations are evolving. Presenters will highlight key patterns in use, equity gaps in access and support, and the growing demand for institutional strategy and governance. Attendees will learn how large-scale data can inform decision-making, guide responsible AI implementation, and align investments with institutional priorities.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Interpret large-scale AI adoption data to inform institutional strategy and governance
  • Identify patterns in AI use, trust, training demand, and workforce readiness
  • Apply system-level insights to guide equitable and responsible AI implementation
  • Translate survey findings into actionable institutional priorities
