Showcase Webinar | The Human Edge of AI

Sponsored by Dell Technologies | 2026 EDUCAUSE Mission Partner and Cisco Systems | 2026 EDUCAUSE Strategic Partner

Empowering students, faculty, and staff with artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming an individual capability rather than just, or even primarily, an institutional one.

In the classroom, AI offers seemingly limitless options for both faculty and students to design and participate in their courses, engage in teaching and learning, and demonstrate learning and student success. Outside the classroom, opportunities abound for leaders and staff to benefit from AI in the form of more efficient administrative processes and more advanced business analytics and decision-making.

Across these use cases exists immense potential for individual use of AI technologies as well as a persistent risk that those individuals will misunderstand and misuse them.

In this EDUCAUSE Showcase Webinar, you’ll learn from institutional and industry thought leaders who are exploring how institutions can support AI literacy efforts and governance for safe AI use while allowing individuals creative freedom to experiment and innovate.

Learning Outcomes:

  • See examples of how institutions train faculty, staff, and students on acceptable use of AI.
  • Learn how institutions use AI to create efficiencies in business processes and decision-making.
  • Learn how institutions create spaces for creative, innovative experimentation with AI that centers human skills.
