Join us for a September 27 conversation on how AI is transforming higher education in Texas

Sign up for The Brief, The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.

Higher education leaders are already looking at how AI is transforming higher education — beyond the use of generative tools such as ChatGPT. In April, the Texas Higher Education Commission Board launched an assessment of AI activity at all community colleges and four-year universities in an effort to help prepare students, faculty and administrators for what’s on the horizon.

How are schools looking to best prepare students and faculty for a changing workforce? Can AI help institutions find efficiencies in operations and allow faculty to focus more on teaching? Can AI be used to make learning more equitable or will it create further divides?

Join us at 12 p.m. Friday, September 27 at the University of Texas at Dallas for a conversation on what policies and programs are already in development, the challenges and opportunities AI presents for Texas schools, and how these institutions must evolve to keep up and respond to the ever-changing technology.
