Mallory Willsea sits down with Ardis Kadiu, co-founder of AI Idea Lab and former CEO of Element451, to explore why 2026 is poised to be the breakout year for agentic AI in higher education. Unlike traditional AI tools that assist with tasks, agentic AI can now plan, execute, and deliver outcomes autonomously. They unpack how this shift will impact student communication, operational workflows, and the very structure of work across campuses. Tune in to hear real-world applications, insights into Ardis’s new venture Andy.AI, and how enrollment leaders can start leveraging these tools today.
