## Resource

In this episode of Tech Unscripted Season 3, leaders Dr. José-Marie Griffiths and Dr. Kristina Johnson discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping higher education across learning, research, and campus operations. They explore infrastructure needs like data modernization, emerging teaching and assessment methods, and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and ethics. The conversation highlights practical steps universities can take—such as building AI-ready data systems, encouraging transparency in AI use, and preparing students with adaptability and agent-based skills—while warning about widening institutional and student divides without equitable access.
