Episode #353: How Higher Ed Can Lead Through AI Transformation

AI is changing how higher education prepares students for work and life—but the mission itself hasn’t changed. Lydia Logan , Vice President for Global Education and Workforce Development at IBM , discusses why institutions need clear AI governance, policies, and frameworks that balance responsible use with the need to build students’ AI literacy and fluency. She explores the role of industry partnerships, the importance of giving students hands-on opportunities to use and build with AI, and why institutions shouldn’t wait for perfect answers before getting started.
