What's Happening with AI in Higher Ed?
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming higher education, reshaping how students learn, how faculty teach, and how institutions operate. Colleges and universities are experimenting with AI-powered tools to personalize learning, streamline administrative processes, and improve student success. From learning management systems like Canvas introducing built-in AI features, to statewide partnerships such as Governor Newsom鈥檚 agreements with Google and IBM to advance AI in California鈥檚 community colleges, the momentum is clear. Institutions are also creating communities of practice to explore ethical use, classroom integration, and workforce readiness. At the same time, innovation hubs like Cal Poly鈥檚 AI summer camp and collaborations with industry partners such as AWS are giving students hands-on experience with real-world challenges. AI is no longer on the horizon鈥攊t鈥檚 here, and higher education is adapting quickly.
