Leading AI Transformation in Higher Education: Strategies from Senior Academic Leaders

AI is fundamentally reshaping what learners need, how faculty teach, how research is conducted, and how universities operate. In this session, Senior Academic Leaders go beyond vision to share how they are actively building the AI-enhanced institution—embedding AI across teaching and learning, accelerating new modes of research, and redesigning operations for speed, intelligence, and scale. They will reveal how cross-campus alignment and industry partnerships are turning fragmented pilots into coordinated, institution-wide transformation—and what it takes to lead that shift. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies and leadership insights to move faster, scale what works, and drive AI-powered transformation across their institutions.
