At the EDUCAUSE annual conference in Chicago, artificial intelligence was the topic of several sessions as IT leaders continue to wonder what’s next for this technology and how it will impact higher education in the future. The EDUCAUSE 2024 Top 10 placed AI in an honorary spot on the list at number 13, indicating its growing impact on higher ed. “AI makes knowledge and expertise available in ways that they weren't in the past,” says Susan Grajek, vice president of partnerships, communities and research at EDUCAUSE. “It has the potential to help people skill up really rapidly. And because education is our predominant mission in higher education, it has real potential.”
