Abstract:
Generative AI is here, whether we like it or not — and our students are already using it. For many educators, this brings both anxiety and opportunity. Should we ban it? Embrace it? Ignore it? This talk cuts through the hype to offer a clear, practical, and candid look at what AI means for teaching and learning. You’ll walk away with a better sense of how these tools actually work, what they can (and can’t) do in the classroom, and how to guide students toward thoughtful and ethical use. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep up with the rapid changes AI is bringing to higher education, this session will help you feel less behind — and more prepared to lead.
