Friday, August 22, 12pm-3:30pm
Higher education has been slow to adopt AI through an intentional future-focused strategic planning approach. As technologies evolve, however, staff, faculty, and administrators now have an opportunity to build AI tools to help learners be successful. This session will discuss AI agents and agentic architectures that can be deployed in days. Some of these focus on classroom level implementations, but university-wide agents are accessible and deployable with strategic planning. Attendees will walk away with a practical roadmap and tools to deploy AI agents in personal productivity and in design, teaching, and learning activities.
