Many higher education institutions treat artificial intelligence (AI) in education as a single category. A four-layer framework helps institutional leaders distinguish AI adoption from AI readiness and identify gaps in AI policies and investments, including limited support for profession-specific AI competency.
Sophie and guest host Isaac Galvan talk with Kelly Crisp and Mat Flower about the current landscape of higher education cybersecurity awareness and how institutions can communicate and build controls to address the complex and changing nature of cybersecurity and privacy.

Sophie and Jenay talk with Mark McCormack and Stan Waddell live at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference. They discuss the 2027 EDUCAUSE Top 10 to explore the top issues for higher education leaders in the “age of perpetual change.”
The disruptions from artificial intelligence reach across campus, raising the need for professional development for faculty and staff to ensure responsible use of the technology.

Most campus chatbots stopped delivering because they lacked student context, institutional data, and the ability to take action. Three capabilities separate tools students love from legacy software they do not.
Artificial intelligence (AI) may be everywhere, but widespread adoption does not automatically create value. Resistance to AI is not a barrier to innovation in higher education. It is a necessary force for asking hard questions, protecting core values, and ensuring that technology adoption remains purposeful and mission-driven.
