Register now.
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing the way we live, learn, and work.
Universities are adapting quickly to these fundamental changes to ensure that they are preparing students who are ready to thrive in a world reshaped by the presence of artificial intelligence. The provost has a key role to play in leading a campus into the era of AI, helping the campus to embrace the promise of AI in supporting students on their journey to their degree and into the workplace and encouraging faculty to think creatively, rather than defensively, about the implications of AI for curriculum, pedagogy, and student learning. AASCU’s Symposium for Provosts on AI will provide attendees with a primer on AI in higher education, while it addresses pressing questions about artificial intelligence at regional public universities.
Attendees will return to campus with a better understanding of AI and higher education, examples of how campuses are effectively integrating AI into teaching, learning, research, and work, and tools for leading AI integration throughout the academic enterprise.

- Provosts and Chief Academic Officers
Benefits of participation:
