Prof. Po-Shen Loh from Carnegie Mellon University will lead this lunch discussion which examines how faculty are using AI in teaching and academic work, and how AI is influencing students’ experiences in higher education. We will also explore the implications of AI for student engagement, learning, and the evolving role of faculty. The conversation will also consider how AI-driven changes in the job market may affect the perceived value of attending a university, particularly if fewer careers require traditional college degrees, and what this means for the future of higher education.
