Title: "AI & The Future of Education"

Higher education is at an inflection point. As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes how we teach, learn, and conduct research, universities face pressing questions about what this means for students, faculty, and institutions alike.

This panel brings together thought leaders from Northwestern to explore how AI is transforming the higher education landscape — from the classroom to the research lab. Panelists will discuss the opportunities and challenges AI presents for learning outcomes, academic integrity, institutional governance, and the evolving roles of educators and students. The conversation will also consider how universities can thoughtfully adapt to ensure AI serves as a tool for equity and excellence rather than a source of new inequities.

Lunch will be provided. Registration is required.
